Windows 10: WIndows 10 laptop very often needs reboot with battery removal after uopdate.

I have had this problem with my old laptop - vintage 2009 Asus with Nvidia GTX 260M, for a while. The problem is after most updates the display sometime becomes black and unresponsive. Sometime only the individual application screen becomes black, the borders are sill visible, can run commands on a shell but do not see anything other than black At this point the laptop no only requires reboot , but removal of battery and power for sometime before reboot. Have been looking for a better solution - but have to found any yet
