Windows 10 1709 freeze randomly

My computer went from running great under 1607 to locking constantly after a few minutes with 1709. I tried disabling "Fast Startup" but that didn't work. Fortunately, I was able to use Windows' Recover feature to roll-back to 1607. It now works great. Microsoft views Windows 10 as a "service" so that's how they justify installing updates/"upgrades" without our consent. Fortunately, there's a way to stop this. I've put the link below and I used the "Local Group Policy Editor" to easily stop these from being installed without my consent.

Here's another article on how to prevent major "upgrades".

I feel now that I've taken back control of my PC. I can't believe Microsoft puts out such buggy software that breaks peoples computers that they use for important work without the users' consent. I was about to buy a Mac if I couldn't get this situation under control. Now, my next issue is stopping Windows 10 from changing my default programs, especially pdf's, to Microsoft Edge, but I've found online ways to stop this, too.

Thank You for a real answer with a real solutionn

I will give this a try on two machines tonight.

also i need to suspend this update on any future 

machines until it gets fixed by MS developers

as these are bandaids the real problem is the

coding.

Hi Nicholas,

When Windows freezes it's usually caused by compatibility issues. We suggest checking if the device is compatible with Windows 10 Fall Creators update. If the device is compatible, you may try to start computer in safe mode. This will start Windows using a limited set of files and drivers. This is performed to check if device drivers aren't causing the issue.

If the issue persists in safe mode, we suggest that you run the Hardware troubleshooter in normal boot.

Feel free to post back should you need further assistance.

still having a problem with a laptop

did everything recommended still freezing

3 times per day.

a lenovo laptop worked fine with 1703

cunnith is right:

"Windows, Settings, System, Power & sleep, Additional power settings, Choose what the power buttons do, Change settings that are currently unavailable, unclick Turn on fast start-up, Save changes."
