Windows 10: Windows Security - Allowed Apps crash

Hi, I have an issue with Windows Security Settings. Recently I tried to remove an app from the "Allowed Apps" window, under Virus & threat protection. Upon clicking remove there are few seconds of no response until the Windows Security window crashes. Opening it again shows that my changes have not taken effect. I found that any attempt to add or remove apps from this list crash the window and have no effect.

In the past I have had no problems adding and removing apps from this list, and it has only become a problem since a couple of weeks ago. I am hoping someone has had this problem before and knows how to fix it.

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?

ive watch my temps and both the cpu and gpu are within normal ranges. when it freezes it simply freezes the image and stops the sound. i must reboot to get back to windows.

 

Explorer crashing

Sometimes 3rd party apps hanging off IE7 (in Vista) will cause this.

You could try to disable DEP protection for that app. From the Control Panel-System>Advanced Settings>Performance>Data Excecution Prevention. Add IE7 to the list and reboot.

If that doesn't work, make sure all your security settings are in good order. Mine kept crashing until I enabled Windows firewall. (Not quite sure why it was disabled by default. Plus Windows Defender needed to be started in the Services.)
