Hi,

This looks good, It seems SMB1 is disabled and is causing this error.
Could you please run the following command and post the result in your next post.

Dism /Online /Get-Features /format:table | find "SMB1Protocol"

Open OptionalFeatures.exe and enable all the SMB1 features and reboot the system.
Afterwards run the following commands again.

Perfect! You can disable this (out-dated) SMB1 protocol again, hopefully it will uninstall completely without any leftovers this time.

If you are still experiencing BSODs? I would recommend to follow these instructions to start a new thread in the BSOD section.
