Total screen freeze after some uodates?

I have been experiencing a total freeze of my desktop computer at seemingly random times? The freeze occurs without any warning and leaves no error message in the event viewer, but a process of elimination has hit on what is causing the freeze!
Every time it happens it coincides with a check for updates, I know this is the cause because Windows always records the time a search for updates was checked, and this always matches the freeze!
The only thing to do when the freeze occurs is to close Windows by holding the computers start button in until the PC powers down, then re-starting.
The freeze only happens now and again, and most updates complete without causing one!

What I am hoping for is a fix for this problem, or at least to share the cause of the freeze for others to benefit.:)

1709 fully updated. Windows Home.

I have noticed some freezes too on one of my three PCs (work). The only thing that was changed between non-crashing and crashing period was updating nVidia drivers. I removed these with DDU and left WU download an older version. So far, so good.

Do you have an nVidia card? Then you could give this a shot.

ATI Radeon ..... But the problem is not my PC as such, it is the re-start after an update that freezes before it can be implemented. It's not really a big problem once you realise what is causing it, because I would have to re-start anyway!

No messages or erors anywhere on the system? And the freeze happens randomly, most updates that need a re-start are completed without problems.but occasionally an update tries to re-start the system and ends in a freeze. The only way out of the freeze is a system shut down, then re-starting the system almost always results in the system configuring updates!
My main reason in making this post is to help others with the same problem to realise the cause!

Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware. (nothing is removed until I check each item first).
Yes and the trouble shooter found nothing of interest.
I don't use cleaning, privacy or Tweaking tools!

See if you can open task manager with control alt delete before you expect the problem or while you are having the problem and report the numbers that you see for CPU, Memory, and DIsk.

Another option is to use Windows performance recorder (WPR)
or Microsoft Systernals to capture the problem.
