Windows 10: Crashes, freezes since installing Build 19041- how to proceed?

My computer automatically updated to Version 10.0.19041 Build 19041 1-2 days ago. Since then I am having multiple problems:

• Frequent freezes with Firefox all extensions disabled
  
• Frequent freezes using Explorer windows - eg opening task manager
  
• Cannot login to other user accounts. They highlight, but clicking does nothing
  • 
• I have this weird new icon
  • 
  • I cannot select "I forgot my PIN" or "Sign-in options"
• BSODs - these seem to be resolved by a full shut down/restart
  
  
• Windows Security Icon warning - but no problem is shown fixed on restart
  • 
  
  
• Freezes. This one shows 100% CPU, but 0% used by individual apps. Also note the two blank apps
  • 
• Microsoft Products Freezing/Crashing: MS Word, Outlook are intermittently freezing.

all games crash!

I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
What happens?
If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
What X1800XT model do you own exactly?

 

all games crash!

ive watch my temps and both the cpu and gpu are within normal ranges. when it freezes it simply freezes the image and stops the sound. i must reboot to get back to windows.

 

Random Crash/Freeze on Build 10130


Hello everyone.

I have been running the Windows 10 preview for the last few months and other than a driver issue here or there, did not experience any real problems. However, with the last update to build 10130, I have been experiencing a random crash/freeze that manifests itself in one of two ways:

1. If I step away from the computer and come back before the monitor is set to go to sleep, I will come back to a frozen cursor, unable to do anything.
2. If I step away from the computer and come back after the monitor has gone to sleep, I will come back to a black screen, unable to do anything.

In both cases, I have to hold the power button in to shut down the computer for a restart.

Any direction or help would be greatly appreciated.
