Video TDR Failure

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being a part of Windows 10.

I understand the inconvenience you are facing with Video TDR Failure error after upgrading to Windows 10.
Now that you have me with you let me take care of this.

Do let us know the following to assist you better with this issue:

• Were you able to see any error code along with the error message?
• What is the make and model of your device?

TDR is the Timeout, Detection, and Recovery
component in Windows. What happens is the Graphics Display driver for the installed graphics card stops responding. When this happens, windows will stop and restart the driver to fix the problem.

The most common reason for this issue is that the graphics device is being overloaded or used beyond its capabilities.

This happens most often when playing graphic intensive games, but can happen with any process that uses a large amount of graphic resources, such as when editing or creating videos.

Step 1: I suggest you to
Run check disk (chkdsk) and check if it helps.

Chkdsk: The
Chkdsk (Check Disc) scan will try to identify and repair bad sectors found on the hard drive. Any data present on these sectors might be lost in the process. The computer can also go into a no boot state. Proceed at your own risk.

Follow the below steps:

• Press Windows + X keys on the keyboard, click Command Prompt (Admin).
• In the Command Prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
  
  chkdsk /f
• You may be asked whether to schedule this volume to be checked next time when you restarts (Y/N).
• Press Y key on the keyboard and press
  Enter key.
• Restart the computer and check.

Step 2: Update Graphics Driver.

• Press Windows key + X key when you are at desktop.
• Select Device Manager.
• Expand Display Adapter.
• Right click on the Display Adapter and click on
  Update driver software.

Hope it helps. Perform the above methods and update the status of this issue, we will be happy to help you.
