    Windows 10 freezes on old laptop


    It's a 7 year old laptop, and Windows just freezes sometimes

    HDD was replaced to a new SATA SSD, and it still happens
    Memtest passed successfully
    Could it just be that some little component(s) are damaged on the motherboard and it's just not visible, and it causes the problem whenever these components needs to work?
    Or, I can further troubleshoot?

    *Edit: I do not have the laptop right now, so tomorrow I will provide more details, but I'd be happy if you gave me suggestions for further troubleshooting until I'll have more details

    Thanks

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows 10 freezes on old laptop

    Windows 10 freezing at log in

    Hello Frank,

    A failed update or one-time startup process can sometimes cause stopping, freezing, or reboot-loop issues during the login process. To isolate the issue, we suggest that you answer the following questions:

    • Do you have a USB device attached? If yes, can you remove the device and log in again.
    • Have you tried turning off the WiFi feature in your laptop before logging in?
    • How about running a Startup Repair in your Windows 10 laptop? (Boot to Advanced Startup Options>Click on Troubleshoot> Click on Advanced options> Click on Startup Repair)
    • Aside from the above steps, what other troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    Looking forward to your response.
