Windows 10: computer blue screened while playing a steam game

My computer blue screened while playing slime rancher 1 and the game itself will crash to desktop many times while playing usually last 30mins at the longest but sometimes the computer will just blue screen any idea why? SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION was the code I was given and I have the minidump if someone needs it to help me I have installed drivers for my graphics card and updated windows. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game and ran the game as a admin.

Steam games recent list does not update

The recently used program list for the Steam computer game client never updates. It says recent but it misses actual recent games that I've played and lists games that I haven't touched for months or years. How can I investigate the reason for this list not updating? It works just fine for other programs on the Start Menu. I tried searching for information but the word "update" in the search string returns results about Steam and Windows updates and not about the recent list updating.
