    Windows freezes completely after some minutes since Creators Update


    Hello everyone, first post here.

    I have a problem with Windows 10 since the Creators Update, all previous versions of Windows 10 ran just fine on my computer.

    I have the following problem after the upgrade.
    I can boot and log into Windows just fine, then after around 2 to 5 minutes, everything completely freezes. There's no indication of an error, I can still move the mouse but nothing else works. If I move the mouse over the task bar, I often get the spinning blue circle.
    The only option I then have, is to force shutdown the computer.

    I already tried to do a fresh installation of Windows Pro using a USB installer and unplugged all devices that are not necessary, but the problem persists.

    Since a reinstall didn't solve the problem, I suspect it could be some hardware incompatibility. My hardware looks as follows:
    i7 3770k, GA Z77-DS3H, 16GB Kingston Ram, Samsung 840 SSD, Geforce 970TI

    Does anyone has an idea what the problem could be or what else I could to do to solve this issue?

    Thanks for any tips.

    :)

    Windows 10 Creators Update

    Since my Windows 10 creators update, my computer freezes every few minutes and I have to restart. The computer is unusable. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    KB890830 - slow boot up + random freezes

    This update completely broke my install.

    My laptop went from a 30s boot-up to several minutes (in which it is unusable). I started experiencing random freezes, even in something as simple as logging back in from the lockscreen, or simply opening windows explorer. I had to do forced reboots more times
    in the past few days than ever since I bought the laptop up until now.

    After uninstalling it everything went back to normal.

    Anyone else experienced this?

    Also worth noting that even though there was no mention about this in the changelog, this updated added Windos Creators info to the Updater.

    Windows freezes completely after some minutes since Creators Update

    It seems that a firmware upgrade to the latest version (EXT0DB6Q) of the Samsung 840 EVO SSD has resolved the issue.
