  1. Settings always freezes after I click the "Update & Security" section.


    Hello, the past few months of my Windows 10 experience has been pretty painful to say the least, my computer constantly says it isn't connected to the internet (EVEN when I can open my browser and go to any single page I could think of, and it works), I can't update my computer (Still stuck on Version 2004) probably making me a bigger target of viruses, and now I can't even go on Update & Security without Settings freezing up?!? Someone please tell me how to fix this. I even made a previous post almost a week ago describing pretty much the same problem. I can't even use the search either, making my problem worse. Honestly I am planning on switching to another operating system some day as I have already had countless problems with Windows 10 before, such as having updates shoved in my face.

    Windows Creator Update Freezes Some Programs when typing

    Thanks for the reply. Since the Creator's Update is giving you some issues, we suggest reverting back to the previous update. Here are the steps:

    • Open Settings window.
    • Click Update and Security, then Recovery.
    • Select Get Started, under Go back section.

    Once done, it will restart your PC. After the restart, please do check if you'll still experience freeze moments on any programs you are working on.

    We're looking forward to your response.

    Windows 10 Update and Security section of Settings not working

    I have tried to access Updates and Security via the Settings, and nothing happens.
    The page just freezes, and the only thing I can do is close it.

    The other options in the settings can be accessed, but if Updates and Security is pressed, then it just freezes.

  4. Settings always freezes after I click the "Update & Security" section.

    set the updated when shut down the laptop

    Hi,

    Installing the updates on your device will make sure that your PC is on its maximum performance. To sort out your concern, we suggest that you pause the updates on your computer from the
    Settings. To do this, you may follow the steps below:

    • Click Start > Settings > Update & security.
    • Under the Update settings section, click Advanced options.
    • Turn on the Pause Updates under the Choose when updates are installed
      section.
    • It will temporarily pause the updates on your device for 35 days.

    Let us know if you need additional assistance.
