Windows 10: Random Freezing and Hanging in Build 14279

After a clean install of Build 14279, then reinstalling several programs, I'm getting occasional and random freeze-ups.

I posted this reply:

I think we might better figure this out if it has its own thread, so . . .

:)

 

Windows 7 to 10 upgrade on a Dell Precision 390?

Hi Prahalad,

the graphics drivers install without any problems. The random freeze/hang issue is while running Windows 10 with the NVIDIA graphics driver.

Uninstalling the NVIDIA driver and installing the Microsoft Basic Display driver fixes the freeze/hang issue.

Thanks.

 

SFC /SCANNOW report opencl.dll bad

Still not fixed in build 14279.

 

from my other posting :
The hanging & freezing in 14279
ALMOST makes me wonder if it's a windows kernel issue causing the hanging or something I'm Seeing transient but persistent major HDD and CPU spikes when (or right after ) it happens but not *usually at other times in taskman where I never saw them before under the same conditions and there is no malware causing it as far as I can tell .

I could boot into 10586 Th2 on the same NTFS hdd and look for it there but I use it now and then .

I just shoved the 10586 th2 cumulative update in there a couple of days ago and used it for a good while and I don't recall this behavior there but it seems slower than these rs1 builds

Been thinking about putting both OS on an SSD also or at least the Insider test builds I do the daily driving in for the duration of the program .

PS sometimes this PC slows down randomly on 14279 and I see big HDD and CPU spikes (sometimes 100% hdd) I can't explain also when it does that .

I been lazy and haven't checked the error logs perhaps I should look in there *Redface

 

That's a thought! I haven't looked there either. *Eek

 

There might be something in the error logs. I also get transient application hangs or more often very short duration random freezing maybe without the I beam thing under many conditions I never got much or as often before this 14279 build .

 

Re/ Windows 14279 random freezing /hangs :


Error log results


I found 4 of these within one second on 03.07.16 so I don't think it's related because it's been freezing since then and this error is not persistent just the 4 times above.

Found the usual Email client runtime application/ error faults ......

Nothing out of the ordinary in the error logs I could attribute to freezing or appl. hangs .


No HDWE /chipset /hdd controller /Sata chipset events at all or bad block/sector HDD errors outside of the smart drive reserve which would invisible *within the smart drive reserve* here anyway .

This drive is maybe 1- 1.5 yrs now. I might run run a scannow on it and maybe Scan this partition for bad sectors also but the last scannow was fine recently and so were the automatic defrag logs just a couple of days back .

I could even run Sea Tools or WD lifeguard on this NTFS partition but the freezes are to transient to be a HDD in my experience and it boots decently fast and seems OK

 

I've posted this in News section, but maybe it should be asked here:

Do you by any chance have some network links under Quick access in explorer? Pinned or just under frequently used links.
I have some interruptions with Windows explorer and removing those links solved my issue.

 

FWIW None here

 

OK then, one down other hundred to go.

 

or maybe get lucky with the next Insiders build like I'm hoping for *Cool

 

Wish you luck *Biggrin and may it be soon.

 

No network links for me either, Andre.
