    Windows 10 hangs, even after reinstall


    So, first and foremost, I update Windows immediately...

    After having a overwhelmingly good running install on my PC since quite a couple of years, things have gotten worse mid-2020. This I concluded with the fact that the machine has been running this install for years, so why not reinstall.


    Original Install Date: 24/09/2020, 10:31:04

    Here we go, exact the same Problems i was experiencing before, yet even worse:

    I can't correctly play D3D games - they stutter every 10-15 seconds and freeze for 2+ secs OpenGL is fine - at least for Minecraft

    Examples:

    State of Decay 2, Elder Scrolls Online, Cities Skylines, Ghost-Recon Wildlands all taking a. very long to load b. stutter as mentioned c. sometimes textures are not displayed perfect - most probably due to "loading time" not meeting requirements

    Fun fact: seeking through bigger mp3 files takes looooooong every time i skip same "pattern" - maybe this is related to the new SSHD I bought, will disable this within next days for testing

    Yes, I'm a horrible Person to have 40+ Chrome tabs x2-3 open. Yes this worked pre mid-2020, flawless, on 8GB of RAM. Chrome just "blacks-out", and can't be tabbed back into and has to be restarted, losing tabs.


    I'm pretty sure this has something to do with an update that has been applied somewhen in 2020, its definitely BEFORE the "October-Update" and not related to 20H2. Any Chance I get that 19H2 back? ; Or even better, have this issue fixed.


    Some technical details:

    OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro

    OS Version: 10.0.19042 N/A Build 19042

    System Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.

    System Model: Z87M-D3H

    System Type: x64-based PC

    Processors: 1 Processors Installed.

    [01]: Intel64 Family 6 Model 60 Stepping 3 GenuineIntel ~3401 Mhz

    Boot Device: \Device\HarddiskVolume1

    System Locale: en-us;English United States

    Total Physical Memory: 8.103 MB

    Virtual Memory: Max Size: 11.512 MB



    I would add the 13 applied Hotfixes too, yet as mentioned: even without updating, problems existed.



    Please advise, Kind Regards

    -

    :)

    [Solved] Windows 10 keeps reinstalling KB3119142

    I noticed quite some time ago that KB3119142 (Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Update 4 Redistributable Package) kept reinstalling itself for some reason. At least once daily. Sometimes up to several times a day. I just ignored it. It didn't seem to be doing any harm. And I figured they'd eventually fix it. Well...days turned into weeks, weeks into months, with no end to the problem in sight. It dragged on unsolved for at least the last few months. Literally reinstalling itself hundreds of(at least a hundred, felt like more) times in that period of time.

    So I finally googled it a couple days ago. And just got around to fixing it today. Which appears to have worked. And it couldn't have been easier to do. I feel so stupid to have let it intimidate me for so long.*Oops! Windows 10 hangs, even after reinstall :oops:
    Below are links to the thread that I got the fix idea from, and the official MS support info page for KB3119142(from which I quoted the above).

    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
