Windows 10: Windows Problem Reporting completely crashing PC

You will have to take the long road and do a clean boot and use your computer in clean boot state for few days to see issue resolves if it does then you will need to enable only few of the startup programs and services and use your computer like this for few days. Keep a note of the startup programs and services you have enabled and when the issue comes back you will know one of the startup programs or services causing the issue.

Thanks! I did a Malwarebytes scan and no threats were detected. I'll take your advice and do the clean boot! I'll update the thread if I find anything.

Thank you

You are very welcome and good luck!

Hi! So I have finally figured it out! I've had no problems whatsoever since disabling 'Malwarebytes Service'.

However, since disabling nearly all my services, I'm unsure as to which ones I should reenable. My PC works fine so I'm not sure what all these extra services do. I've attached screenshots of all my services below. I'd be super grateful if you wouldn't mind having a look over them to see if there are any I should definitely reenable. Thank you!

Service processes are those system or application processes that do run as services.

These include system services like the Task Scheduler and the Print Spooler, but they also include non-system services like SQL Server, which is a database server service.

A service is an application or innate operating system component that provides services (capabilities) to the network, the local machine, or both.

Its up to you which services you want to enable these services belong to applications you have installed. For example do you want TeamViewer 11 service startup at boot time does the TeamViewer works if you set this service to manual if it does then configure service startup type manual.

I have program that will not work if the service belong to program is not already started so i set the service to automatic startup type i could also set it to manual and each time i want to run the program i can start its service manually.

You can open the Services manager by typing services.msc into Start Menu.
