Windows 10 Windows 10 home freezes after update 21H1 ver. 19043.1288

[shadows]

Hi Windows Forum
I have been experiencing some rather annoying issues with my WIndows 10 Home Edition.
At random times it either gives me a blue screen where it says "Your PC closed unexpected, please restart" or just this evening after opening Battlefield 3 while having a administrating program on for the server and Chrome open, my PC instantly crashed froze. I had to manually kill the switch and reboot in order to get things running, but then appear the repair screen and I just let it auto repair and restart the pc, it freezes to the loading screen as nothing is happening. I did let it sit for 10-15 min and it didn't do much. This kept on happening each time I hit restart on my pc case. A friend of mine said I should put in the media tool (USB) I used for installing windows and I booted up on the USB (First boot deviice) and no repair came and it went directly to windows login screen and I could get in.

I'm wondering what I should do, as this keeps continueing and it's annoying. I haven't downloaded anything nor have any programs that are doing any harm. Pretty much my pc have been a clean pc ever since I bought my windows key 1½ year ago.

Any suggestions what I can do?

It sounds like your Windows 10 system is encountering recurring stability issues that result in crashes and blue screen errors, leading to further booting problems. Here are some steps you can take to diagnose and potentially resolve these issues:

System Diagnostics:​

1. Event Viewer Analysis: Check the Event Viewer logs for errors related to the crashes. Look for critical errors or warnings that occurred around the time of the crashes.
2. Reliability Monitor: Use the Reliability Monitor to track the system's stability and identify patterns of errors or failures.

   System Checks:​

3. Check for Hardware Issues: Run hardware diagnostic tests to ensure that components like the RAM, hard drive, and CPU are functioning correctly.
4. Update Drivers: Make sure all hardware drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can cause instability.
5. Windows Updates: Ensure that your Windows 10 installation is fully updated with the latest patches and updates.

   System Repair Options:​

6. System File Checker (SFC): Run an SFC scan to check for and repair corrupted system files.
7. Check Disk (CHKDSK): Perform a CHKDSK scan to check for and repair disk errors.

   Safe Mode and Clean Boot:​

8. Safe Mode: Boot into Safe Mode to see if the issues persist. Safe Mode loads Windows with a minimal set of drivers and services.
9. Clean Boot: Perform a Clean Boot to start Windows with a minimal set of startup programs. This can help identify if a third-party application is causing the crashes.

   Restore and Reset:​

10. System Restore: Consider using System Restore to revert your system to a previous known-working state.
11. Reset This PC: Use the Windows Reset feature to keep your personal files but reinstall Windows to resolve system-related issues.

    Professional Support:​

    If the problems persist, consulting a professional technician or contacting Microsoft Support may be necessary to tackle the root cause of the recurring crashes and booting issues. By performing these steps, you can gather more information about the issues affecting your system and take the necessary actions to resolve them.
