Laptop Frozed

Hello,

This could be due to third party application conflicts, driver relates issues or components gets corrupted.

I appreciate if you could answer few questions to narrow down to the issue.

• What is the make and model of the Laptop?
• What is the error message that you receive?
• Did you install any third party security application?

I suggest you to follow the methods below and check if it helps:

Method 1:

As a basic troubleshooting step, I suggest you to run
System Maintenance troubleshooter finds and clean up unused files and shortcuts and performs maintenance tasks.

• Press Windows key and type Troubleshooting.
• Select Troubleshooting and hit Enter.
• Click on View all in the left pane of the window.
• Select System Maintenance.

Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the troubleshooting process.

Method 2:

If the issue persist, I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the display, graphic and network drivers and check if it helps.

1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.

2. In the list of devices, you should see the Display Drivers.

3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".

4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.

5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.

In some computer you may also see graphic drivers installed additionally, in that case, I suggest you to uninstall them by following the same steps provided above. Do the same for the other drivers mentioned in the post.

Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

Thank you.

 

Windows Defender Battery Life Warning - infinite timeout

After the 1703 Creators Update installed, I received a battery power warning that "The sleep timeout on this device is currently set to infinite". Opening the power settings and correcting the battery timeout from 'Never' to 15 minutes did not clear the
warning, even after a restart. I then changed the plugged in setting from Never to 5 hours and restarted but the warning still persists.

UPDATE

I tried the solution suggested below and assumed this had no effect because SFC did not find any problems and the flag remained. Following the steps for the clean boot includes disabling Defender warnings so I could not see if there was a warning. After
the failure of the DISC process and a further reboot, I used Task Manager to re-enable Defender warnings. The warning is no longer reported. It may be that simply using the start-up tab in Task Manager to disable warnings followed by a reboot and re-enabling
warnings is all that is required. I tried to test this by setting the timeouts back to 'Never', but Defender no longer warns that I have an infinite timeout set...
