I had an update a few days ago and since then my system just freezes for no apparent reason. I hit the windows button and esc and it partially returns to normal. It also happens if I go thru a lot of grafics. Any idea appreciates Thanks
Hi enigma1944.
Likely to do with Spectre Meltdown patches. This is just a guess.
If you wouldn't mind providing more detail through your System Spec. What kind of processor and motherboard do you have? What version of Windows are you on? (Windows Key+ R, type winver, enter. Post Version and build number.)
What updates were delivered in the last week. Start > Settings > Update and Security > View Installed Update History
Is reliability History reporting anything? (Type reliability history in Cortana, should be app at top of list) If so what are the error details?
Have you run sfc /scannow and is it reporting any thing?
