Windows 10: Toshiba L55W-C5259 Micro freezes and lockups with install of 1809 and 1903

System affected : Toshiba L55W-C5259


Micro freezes and lockups with install of 1809 or 1903.


This started with the 1809 release and got worse in the 1903 release. Before these releases, all worked fine without the freezing and lockups. It starts right from the booting of the laptop. The spinning dot circle has many micro freezes that extend the boot time to 2-5 minutes! If you get to the desktop, you WILL get a hard lockup in less that a minute. I have tried updating the video driver, but that didn't help. BTW, the cursor is freezing.


Yes, I have tried clean installs of both 1809 and 1903. When booting 1809 and 1903 from my USB Jump drive the freezing dot circle begins as the boot in occurring. As stated, this started on 1809 and got worse in 1903. I think the chip-set has an issue with some sort of change in Windows.


Both attempts to clean install 1809 and 1903 the issue is there. I am resolved to clean install 1803. With 1803 there are no freezing or lockups. Again this problem started with 1809. I know is it something that starts very early in the booting process. The spinning dot wheel appears and is already freezing for a couple of seconds. If this is not addressed I will have to stay on 1803 on this laptop forever.


So, does anyone know what the he!! is going on? This laptop is a great 2in1 and is working beautifully on 1803.


Help!

Had to rollback 1809 to 1803

Toshiba Satellite L55W-C5259.

When starting the laptop the spinning dot wheel would micro freezing every 1 sec. This freezing occurred until fully booted (witch took about 5 minutes).

Once booted, the mouse cursor was micro freezing, and within 30 seconds everything was frozen. Even the numlock button was not responding. It was a hard stop. Even after another reboot, I could not get to rollback within Settings>recovery because the system
would be frozen well before getting there. I had to reboot and interrupt the booting a couple times until the troubleshooting screen appeared (system still micro freezing). I used that rollback (hard to find this option in 1809 boot troubleshooter). Anyway,
I am back to 1803 and no more freezing.

Anyone else getting this?

Windows 10 1903 " Driver or service that isn't ready for this version of windows "

hi there:

There are few things.

1: Your device is not compatible with 1903.

2: I suggest you stick with 1809 and not be an insider, because there could be many issues with 1903. Unless you do not mind having issues with your device with 1903.

 

Get stuck in booting after update to windows 10 version 1903

hi there:

First, you must be an insider, since 1903 is not out yet to the public. Most likely sometime next month. I suggest you go back to 1809 until 1903 is released to the public.
