Windows 10 1709 freeze randomly

Just as an update, I've reverted my PC to pre-Creator's Update, and have forcibly disabled all updating procedures.  This has reduced the number of freezes I experience in any give six hour period from 3-6 to occasionally 1.  

I really don't think its okay that I have to manually disable updating because the newest one(s) effectively made my PC unusable.

I have been experiencing the same problem on a clean install of Win 10 Home, which of course updates to version 1709.  Everything was fine until I started installing programs and in my particular circumstance I have found the culprit that is causing my PC to freeze, and it is ‘Acronis True Image 2010’. I understand that this version is not supposed to be compatible with Win 10 and that’s fair enough, but what confused me was it has operated without any problems on the previous Win10 Version 1703.  I uninstalled Acronis and also did a System Restore to just prior to the install of Acronis and all has been well since.  I very much doubt my solution to curing the ‘freeze’ problem will apply to many, but posting this just in case anyone reading this has got Acronis True Image 2010 installed on their PC.

I would like to give a general update to my freezing.

The continuous freezing ended up making my Motherboard go bad and now I don't have a computer to use. It is unbelievable that Microsoft won't acknowledge this issue. Creator's Update has now proven itself to be extremely dangerous to some custom built PCs. I now have to buy a brand new motherboard and processor because my system is destroyed. All the Microsoft Support agents mentioned was that it was my old system that was causing the freezes and not their update. I had no freeze prior to the Creator's Update. And now Microsoft won't own up to the fact that their update destroyed my PC and have cost me time and money.

Just unbelievable that a OS developer has failed a customer that has been with them since the Win95 era. I doubt I will get compensated for my loss and am considering legal action at this point.

Lealr, I am on your side on this. While the spring Creators update worked for me, the fall one really interrupted things, and my system began crashing three to six times daily. As always, the Microsoft techs got to a point where they suggested the “nuclear option” of reinstalling the earlier OS. I always viewed these suggestions with grave suspicion because, like you, I know that it is their software that is causing the problem, and not my computer.

   I am sure that a computer that resets itself up to six times a day could get damaged, and with Anniversary, one of the ten update loops actually bricked my PC, necessitating repairs that cost me money. 

   February 2 came round and I got the cumulative update. And the BSODs stopped happening. Evidently Microsoft realized what was happening, and while it took two months for them to get their act together, they did, and the age of my PC (2012) had nothing to do with it. My opinion is that you should proceed with your action, especially if you have been in touch with their support people.

I have been told by MS help that my ASUS motherboard is not compatible with creator upgrade. My desktop freezes after 5-10mins. So I rollback each time.

If you go into Windows Update settings, advanced options, you can delay the features updates which 1709 is, for 365 days...

BTW I am using an ASUS M5A99FX Pro 2.0 motherboard. That wouldn't be the same as you would it?

Interesting, I’m on an ASUS P8H67-M LE (LGA1155).
