I have the same problem.
OS: Windows 11 23H2 22631.3880
BSOD error info: driver_irql_not_less_or_equal netio.sys
When I turn on the game accelerator and open a few web pages with adguard on, the computer will immediately turn into a blue screen state.

I'm experiencing the same issue. I've had two crashes so far, both with the DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error. In my latest crash dump, I noticed the driver adgnetworkwfpdrv and found this GitHub page.
I’m running the stable version 7.18.1 on Win 11 23H2 22631.3880.

I'm having same issue

I also got netio.sys bsod after installed the AdGuard , although my minidump says it's NLSvc.exe ( NetLimiter ) and another one is AVGSvc.exe ( I have AVG installed ) but my pc is completely stable before installed adguard .

I experienced this netio.sys BSOD once about a week ago (which is the first BSOD I've had in literally years) while watching a YouTube livestream in Chrome. I didn't see this topic until now, so me too. It only happened once though and haven't been able to cause it again. Using Windows 11 24H2 and Windows Defender.

I have expericenced similar problems, netio.sys BSOD about two times and adgnetworkwfpdrv.sys BSOD one time so far.

AdGuard Version : 7.18.1
OS: Win11 23H2 22631.3880

I decided to uninstall the Adguard now to see if the BSOD occur again or not.

I have the same problem. OS: Windows 11 23H2 22631.3880 BSOD error info: driver_irql_not_less_or_equal netio.sys When I turn on the game accelerator and open a few web pages with adguard on, the computer will immediately turn into a blue screen state.

After I disabled the WFA driver, everything returned to normal and there was no BSOD.
