Windows 10: Windows 10 Wildely Unstable

User Incompatibility. Often results in User Instability. Will be fixed with a series of updates in due course.

 

You might try uninstalling the Nvidia drivers with DDU (page is currently down, might try another source) and reinstalling hotfix 353.62. I had issues in the preview with the Nvidia drivers not completely uninstalling causing conflict. Also had an issue with both the preview and this release build installing the drivers without Nvidia Control Panel. If that doesn't help you might try Win 8.1 driver 344.75, according to the Nvidia forums it's much more stable than anything after even on Win 10.

 

Initially had the same problems - including a couple of BSOD events. Once I properly updated the nvidia drvers its been running fine (and fast). I also have an SLi set up.
Note that the initial method just downloading latest nvidia drivers from their site and trying to install failed several times. I ended up having to download an earlier driver first and then upgrade through GEFORCE Experience.
The number of issues I have had to clean up though is really quite staggering. Spent pretty much all day in the guts of the operating system files making changes and now have a (more or less) stable system.

 

It's funny, but it seems to me the majority of people who have any real issues with this update are the micro-managing control freaks (I don't mean this negatively, honest...) who feel the need to control every tiny detail of their system. Those are the people who have to have things a certain way, whether Microsoft supports it or not, then when they upgrade they have tons of problems and then it's MS's fault because they couldn't deal with the strange configurations you created.

There's nothing wrong with being a micro-managing control freak, but if you do you have to expect to have problems down the line when OS updates occur. Just start over, it's more fun that way anyways.

 

Have you tried disabling your overclock, maybe it's a system instability issue rather than OS instability.

Besides, how are Nvidia driver issues on Microsoft? *Huh

I had been running the preview since February and not once had it break my system, thus I suspect your laptop took five minutes to break the OS.

 

This has helped me , the Nvidia drivers were the cause of all this.

Using DDU and installing the driver again has worked.

Thank you

There are a lot of issues and restrictions with Windows 10 and overall I can't say I am happy but at least it's useable now.

 

Good to hear and good to have it verified so it can help others who have similar problem.

 

I'm having a similar issue

I have a 750Ti and I can't get through the driver installation without it freezing system wide. It's able to do enough to get the right native resolution. The freeze is not a hard freeze. The mouse still moves but you get the spinner when trying to open anything including the control panel. Clicking the start button may or may not work. CTRL + ALT + DEL also yields nothing when it enters this bout of unresponsiveness. I'm always forced to hard reboot.

It will also become unresponsive when not trying to install the driver after a few minutes after boot.

 

Micro Manage? You could not be farther from the truth. I simply follow the recommendations made by MS's own programs and updates. Windows 10 will freeze or functionality will be lost as described by so many others, and then you must reboot. My computer is 3 months old. I have turned off auto-updates several times...but MS keeps downloading all types of junk without my knowledge or permission. Last night I found many more types of bloat had been put on the computer that day. Honestly, it seems as though MS thinks this is their computer and I just get to use it from time to time.

 

I have SLI Nvidia 965 and no problem.
