Windows 10: Windows 10 screen freezing up.

I have an HP Envy laptop running Windows 19. During the last 2 months the screen has been freezing up while I have been doing either work or research . I have to shut off the computer and reboot it to get things working again. I have done the updates and checked for memory 99% free. Fan is running so I don't think it is running hot. Sometimes it goes a week and it works fine, but lately it seems to be freezing up daily. I have read on the internet this is a common problem with Windows 10. Any ideas to fix would be appreciated .

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 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

Friends computer freezing at windows loading screen

Ok my friend is having problems with his computer right now. Basically it crashed on the windows loading screen. This is what he told me on MSN.

Now i'm not too sure what the problem is. I suggested doing a repair install with the xp disk (i'll be giving him that tomorrow) but in the mean time do any of you have any ideas?
