Windows 10 Windows 10 crashing after last update

[persius]

Last week my PC performed an auto update and ever since I'm experiencing one ongoing problem. After booting my system at the start of each day I have noticed that as soon as I play any streaming video my system freezes seconds later.

My video card is running the latest drivers. I'm at a loss as to what is causing this.

Has anybody else experienced this issue?


Thank you.

It seems like your system is encountering freezing issues specifically when playing streaming videos after a recent Windows update. This could be related to a variety of factors, including driver issues, software conflicts, or even potential hardware problems. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try to address this problem: 1. Update Graphics Card Drivers: - Even if your graphics drivers are up-to-date, there might be a need to reinstall or update them. Consider uninstalling the current drivers completely and then installing the latest drivers directly from the manufacturer's website. 2. Run Windows Update: - Check for any pending Windows updates, including driver updates. Sometimes, further updates may be released to address known issues. 3. Check for Software Conflicts: - Identify if any specific software installed or updated around the time of the issues might be causing conflicts. Try running in Safe Mode to see if the problem persists. 4. Verify Hardware Stability: - Overheating components, failing hardware (such as the GPU or RAM), or power issues could also cause this problem. Check the temperatures of your system using monitoring software and run hardware diagnostic tests. 5. Rollback Windows Update: - Consider rolling back the recent Windows update to see if the issue is resolved. You can do this through Windows Update settings or using System Restore. 6. Check and Repair System Files: - Use the built-in Windows System File Checker (SFC) tool to scan and repair corrupt system files that might be causing the freezing issue. 7. Monitor Resource Usage: - While playing a streaming video, monitor your system's resource usage (CPU, GPU, RAM) to see if anything is spiking abnormally before the freeze occurs. 8. Review Event Viewer Logs: - Check the Windows Event Viewer for any error messages or warnings that might provide more insights into the cause of the freezes. By performing these steps, you can potentially identify the root cause of the freezing issue when playing streaming videos and take appropriate action to resolve it.
