Windows 10 1709 freeze randomly

I went back to the previous version (1607) and now I don't have any problems.

So this is clearly a problem with the 1709 update!!!

I haven't had any update without problems.

Mostly I had troubles to install the updates (altough this should be transparent and automatic).

This time the update was installed automatically but now my Windows became completely unusable.

I can't understand that a company that big can afford making errors like that again and again...

I have waste a lot of time with all these problems.

We did the same on some of our clients workstations and it fixed their freezing issues. It is the 1709 update. Please fix it! 

Note: Not all workstations with the 1709 update installed has the freezing issue but none with the 1703 update freezes.

I am running into the same problem

I am a part of the Computer Troubleshooter Franchise.

I am not able to roll back to 1703 at this point since we were waiting for them to fix 1709

it does not happen on all machines. but the symptoms are the same

random lockups.

this is after checking for all driver upgrades.

This is the worst update Microsoft has ever come out with

almost as bad as Service pack 6 for NT

What can I do if I cannot  roll back to 1703

I am not even sure that a refresh will fix the problem. it will still be on 1709 will it not?

What can we all do as IT professionals to come together to get this resolved.

Microsoft is hurting our clients ability to be productive with this update. This update was forced on us and now some of us are stuck with it.

Ive done everything including turning off power management  all the recommended fixes

including turning off fast shutdown and the problems have not been resolved.

I have one client that has 8 machines updated to 1709 and only one of those machines is actually working the way it should.

So I ask once again Microsoft when are your developers going to fix the problem??

this update is broken and you need to realize that.

We have built another workstation that only has 1703 on and is set not to update for the next 35 days (the max the option will allow) that we rotate out for the bad 1709 workstation then repeat that cycle with this workstation (flatten, 1703, no updates, replace, cont to the next).

We are an IT consulting company and this is a service we will provide for our clients.

Not the best situation but we believe that a client shouldn't  suffer because on a M/S issue. Hopefully M/S will fix it soon.

First, let me say I have the same random freezing problem after installing Windows 10 version 1709, and have tried all the suggested fixes in this and other posts to no avail.

But, I did find one recommendation on a third party web site that got my attention. It was talking about having too little Virtual Memory specified and how that might cause Windows 10 to hang randomly. So, I checked to see how much Virtual Memory I had specified on my system with 16GB of memory and a Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD. To my surprise, my Virtual Memory settings were set to Initial = 200 and Maximum = 1000. I have no idea how they were set to that level.

I decided to change my Virtual Memory settings to Initial = 1024 and Maximum = 8192. So far, I have gone 24 hours without any random freezes, and am waiting to see if that change helps resolve my random freezing problem for a longer period. I thought I would pass this along to others as a possible resolution and will report back in about a week to let you know my results.
