So I was installing Visual Studio 2017 Community today, and I started the installation and got away. When I got back, I was presented with a Recovery Screen, telling me that Windows might not be installed properly. There shouldn’t be any viruses on my computer. It’s a fresh installation of Windows 10 Pro (1803 ?), and the installation ISO was downloaded directly from Microsoft. The only software installed on it is the Bootcamp Helper since I’m using a Macbook. I thought it had nothing to do with Visual Studio, so I booted from my installation USB, mounted EFI partition with diskpart, created boot files with bcdboot and one reboot later, it was all fine. Until the Visual Studio Installer automatically restarted and attempted to continue installing, but it crashed the computer. It gave the error KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE. I thought there was something wrong at the Microsoft’s side, so I force restarted the computer a bunch of times to get to Recovery Options, and I booted with the option “Disable Driver Signing Enforcement” and it didn’t blue screen this time. Everything seems fine so far. Should I worry about it? What can be the cause of this? Is there any known issue with the installer (I searched it on google already and found nothing)? I downloaded Visual Studio Installer directly from Microsoft as well.

My computer: Macbook Pro Early-2015 13" Model, 8 GB RAM, Intel Core i5

EDIT: As requested, here are the things I attempted to install:

Universal Windows Platform Development

.NET Desktop Development

C++ Desktop Development

ASP.NET

Python

C++ Linux Development

.NET Core

And an extra package:

C++ ARM and ARM64 compilers and libraries

  • Which update are you installing 16.7 (update 7) or a previous version?

  • Just went to the computer to check it and appearently it crashed again with the same error. I think the disabling driver signing enforcement didn’t help at all.

  • By the way, it should be the latest version, I just downloaded it. And a few blue screens later, I have a 0xc000001 (Your PC couldn’t turn off properly) screen. I have the option to continue booting. What should I do?

  • Can you be more specific with what your installing? There are dozens of components to VS2017

  • A few retries later, I could install it with no problems, but my question not how to fix this. It is “should I worry about it?”.
