Windows 10 hard freezing
Windows 10 recently forced the fall update on me and now I am having problems gaming on the system.
I5 4500k 12gb ram R200 series Radeon Dell system. Would roll back the stupid update, but MS thought it wouls be cool and good to only give you 10 days for that. ****ers. Where should I start with this shit? |

Launch Events Viewer.
Click Windows Logs. Click System. Look for the date/time of your crash. Identify yellow and red warnings and errors. See if you can tell what bombed. You should see some unexpected shutdowns and such. You might find also some useful information under Windows Logs\Application or Windows Logs\Security. If you record your crash times and keep checking, you'll probably figure out the culprit. That's where I'd start at least. If that doesn't get you anywhere, hold down the Shift key and select restart from the Win10 menu. That will boot you to the boot chooser menu, where you can select troubleshooting options. Pick the Troubleshooting option, then Advanced options. See if you can load a previous restore point from there. |

For some reason, 10 refuses to let me use a restore point. |

It's a Dell Inspiron 3847 with a 240GB SSD, Radeon R7 250 added and the stock PSU was swapped out for a Thermaltake 500W awhile back.
If I run a game and leave it open, it can stay running for days without any issues. Seems if I start multi-tasking while a game is running it freezes fairly quickly. Didn't have this issue about a month ago. |

You can roll it back or should be able to... No issues here but not gaming. Go to settings , the last entry should be updates follow it to status and then history then scroll way down till you find a windows update by date. Lets start with what update it installed and the knowledge base numbers and what build you have. I have enterprise 1604 and1703. Last edited by cooper barrett; 11-19-2017 at 11:17 AM.. |

The forced update Tuesday night put my main PC in the Automatic Repair Loop, which led to me restoring from a Disk Image.
Sorry to hear this update has affected others. |
