Windows has DTrace and eBPF available. They chose not to use it.

I’m wondering if a bar DTrace or eBPF expression/filter could cause a blue screen. I’ll bet it could be done.

eBPF:

That’s a pretty big claim. If they have software that can guarantee a program will never crash it would be revolutionary, and could probably solve the halting problem.

Got my answer from the (currently top) answer here:
