Windows 10: Windows 10 Update Crash

I am an experienced PC user since 1987 (starting with DOS and waited as long as possible before switching to Windows): desktops, laptops, tablets; as well as Apple products. NEVER have I had a virus, malware, spyware, or crash because I know what to do and what not to do. However, Windows updates have been another story, altogether! And, the latest 10 update caused such a problem on my 2018 HP laptop that the ONLY successful "repair" was to do a complete restore - the one in which all personal files were removed! I'm so tired of Microsoft trying to take complete control over what I do on my devices, (Office 365 comes to mind). After reading so many other posts about 10 update problems, I've decided to switch my personal and business computing to Apple and donate my Windows devices to charity. No response(s) necessary! Just fed up and needed to share my frustration.

all games crash!

I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
What happens?
If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
What X1800XT model do you own exactly?

 

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

Not sure about the games you listed but no probs with Dirt Rally and benching heavensward-bench here for me. I'm going to test 3DMark too in a few minutes.
