I'm working on a project that uses laptops for data collection. Laptop is not connected to a network and always powered and set to never sleep or shutdown. Under Win 7 it worked fine. Under Win 10 we get freezes anywhere from a few minutes to several weeks and must power cycle laptop to recover. Some machines were Win 10 upgrades, some new with Win 10. We have tried many of the suggestions on this forum and others with no success. We have reverted one machine to Win 7 with success but cost and hassle. We tried Win 10 IOT with success but expensive and hassle. We bought one laptop with Win 10 and made only change to never sleep or shut down. That machine freezes. No applications turned on or installed. We have tried laptops from several vendors with the same results. We have checked event logs. Often last events were hours before the frozen desktop clock. Nothing is indicated that we can use. Does any of this give anyone a clue? Does anyone know how to approach diagnosing the problem as opposed to try this or try that?
