    Computer major freezing after update


    Hi, my computer usually freezes around the time I get updates and then goes back to normal but since the latest update my computer has been freezing like crazy. I am finding it hard to use because it freezes for over 40 minutes sometimes. Would really appreciate a solution!

    :)

    Is it possible to prevent Windows to reset many system settings to default after a major update (Fall Creators Update)?

    I recently installed the Windows 10 Creators Update on many of my PCs, and as with previous "major" update releases, I noticed that many of the system settings, including things like:

    • Energy options in device manager ("allow device to wake the computer from sleep"
      re-enabled for mice and keyboards which is annoying because I
      intentionally turned these off)
    • basic mode of displaying the taskmanager and many more get reset to
      their defaults.

    Since major updates are coming approximately twice a year, I was wondering: why does Windows do that, and is there a way to turn this behavior off? It is especially annoying if you install a computer for a novice user, and after an update you have to redo all these customization steps again.

    On the other hand, many things like explorer settings stay the same, for example things like "show hidden files" or "show file extensions".

    So the main questions are:

    • which settings are reset after an update, and what's the criteria behind that selection, where others aren't?
    • is there a list of the things that are reset during a
      major update for reference?

    Hi,

    Software or driver conflicts after downloading Windows 10 may be causing the freezing on your computer. Answering the following questions may help us in identifying the underlying cause of the issue:

    • Aside from updating to Windows 10, were there any other changes made on your computer prior to the issue?
    • Are you getting an error message or code when the issue happens?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you already performed?

    Regards.
