Just updated from 7 to 10 and getting random 0x00000109 blue screens

Hi. . .
All 4 dumps were nearly identical with bugcheck 0x109 - CRITICAL_STRUCTURE_CORRUPTION
This bugcheck appears when when the kernel detects that critical kernel code or
data have been corrupted.
There are generally three causes for a corruption:
1) A driver has inadvertently or deliberately modified critical kernel code
2) A developer attempted to set a normal kernel breakpoint using a kernel
debugger ..... THIS DOES NOT APPLY HERE TO YOU
3) A hardware corruption occurred, e.g. failing RAM holding kernel code or data is either bad or some other underlying hardware failure occurred that affects RAMs ability to properly hold kernel code - like extreme heat; PSU failure; motherboard, etc... - any piece of hardware that could affect RAM.
#1 seems to be a possibility to me given an Asus Utility driver that I found in your loaded [into RAM] driver listing in all 4 dumps that wreaked absolute havoc during the later days of Vista/early days of Windows 7. Windows 8 and 8.1 were not immune, either. However, I have not seen much negative activity regarding this driver and Windows 10. But if ever there was a driver to attempt to modify critical kernel code, it would be this Asus ATK0110 driver.
I used to see this driver (a 2004 version) wreaking mass havoc in Vista and Windows 7 systems years ago (literally hundreds of people per day sought BSOD help and the cause turned out to be asacpi.sys - even though it was never, ever mentioned in a dump - my theory is that because it is a boot driver, something else set it off long after boot-up), but all has been quiet since 2008-2009 as many have updated it, I guess. But now I see a 2012 version of the Asus driver in your now-Windows 10 system and cannot help but wonder if it is involved in your BSODs, especially since you did not report BSODs while the system was running Windows 7.
The driver belongs to Asus - it is some form of an Asus Utility driver -
