  1. PC Freezes After Updating Windows


    I haven't had any freezing problems up until I installed the latest windows update. I'm not really sure if I can say that my pc truly freezes up because I can still switch between applications but they don't respond when I try to do anything on it. Ctrl+alt+del wont work either. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Windows Vista Wont Install Freezes?

    had the same problem, freezes and long installation including each step loading, in my case a bios update helped.

    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 update freeze pc

    It's nice to receive credit, but I don't see how plagiarism applies on a volunteer manned public Help forum. *Confused
    If it did no one would receive any help.

    Do you remember who first told you how to:
    • Check a drive?
    • Use the Registry Editor?
    • Parse the CBS log?
    • etc.

    Can you prove that you are the creator of "Windows Update Minitool" and (most likely) the person who first documented how to use it?
