Windows 10: Windows 10 freezing randomly after recent updates

I am getting all sorts of freezes requiring restore of system to previous versions but, after some time, the system starts freezing again.
I have tried all the "tips" which do not work - increasing page file, sfc/scannow, etc. to no avail.
today morning I got following errors when it hung (computer name and username anonymized)
What (besides the latest Microsoft patches) could be the cause?

Windows 10 freezes randomly

I had already tried turning off fast startup, to no avail.
Will look at the list you provided, thanks. Hard to do when computer freezes on the Windows loading screen though. *Biggrin

I had tried that as well... no result.

 

Windows 10 freezes randomly

Hi,

To better assist you regarding Windows 10 which freezes randomly, please provide the following:

• Which is the last Windows update build you've applied to the computer?
• Are there any third party applications that are currently installed?

Furthermore, we suggest that you do a BIOS update to your computer. Here are the steps:

• Check the motherboard manufacturer's website to find the specific model of your motherboard.
• Go to the computer manufacturer's website.
• Look for the computer model that you're using.
• You should find any available BIOS update.

Let us know how it goes.
