    Steam causes a hard freeze on my laptop.


    Recently switched out old hard drive for a brand new SSD. Computer works great. Last night I installed steam, downloaded a few games, played for a bit and then upon restart my computer froze. Task manager was not able to be used during this freeze.

    Then I started it in safe mode. I deleted steam and computer runs normally. It seemed like steam trying to open and start when I turned the computer on caused the freeze.

    Any ideas on a fix?

    Edit: a word

    You laptop freezing constantly after upgrading it to Windows 10 could be caused by some settings that are not configured properly. For us to better clarify the concern, kindly answer the questions below:

    • Are you receiving any error message when the laptop freezes?
    • Was there any specific action done or application that was opened before the laptop freezes?
