I'm trying to write a windows debug utility and I would need to automatically crash a Windows machine and make a Blue Screen Of Death appear.
I can obviously kill the csrss.exe process from the task manager, but the command TASKKILL /F /IM csrss.exe in a .bat file doesn't work.
Is there another way to make a Windows machine crash on bsod? Maybe some external library able to kill any process.
I would prefer to use a command line approach since I'm more familiar with it.

You can do this by holding down the furthest most right "Control" key then pressing the "Scroll Lock" key twice. Once this is completed, a blue screen should pop up.
You can trigger a Windows 10 BSoD (or GSoD) in 3 steps: Open Command Prompt, and choose "Run as administrator" Type in the following command: TASKKILL /IM svchost.exe /F. Press Enter.
How do I manually trigger a BSOD? If you don't have a scroll lock key on your laptop, you can usually activate it by holding down the Fn key and then double-tapping the C, K, S, or F6 key. If you enter the keys correctly, your computer will bluescreen right away.
You must restart the system for these settings to take effect. After this is completed, the keyboard crash can be initiated by using the following hotkey sequence: Hold down the rightmost CTRL key, and press the SCROLL LOCK key twice.
You can do this in powershell with:
get-process | stop-process -force
In order to force a blue screen, you'll need to install a driver designed to do it. User-mode code isn't supposed to be able to trigger a bugcheck, just kernel code.
