    StartMenuExperienceHost crashes


    Microsoft Windows 10 Pro for Workstations10.0.19045.4529 22H2I rarely use the start menu. Whenever I do, it crashes exactly 10 minutes later. Here's the output of a script which uses SendInput to activate the start menu. and ReadDirectoryChangesW to catch the creation of a crash dump file. I have made this test many times always with the same result.11:34:00.004064 start menu accessed11:44:00.830379 CREATE StartMenuExperienceHost.exe.9360.dmpIt doesn't matter if the start menu is accessed again during the 10 minutes. And when it crashes, it is restarted immediately. I first noticed

    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?

    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.

    GPU-Z 0.8.7 crash on launch

    W1zzard is asking you to test so that he can suggest next steps and be able to troubleshoot the issue you have.
    If another version works, it would be one set of steps.
    If several other versions also fail/crash, then it would be another.
