Windows 10 1709 its been out almost a month now and still no fix for the freezing bug issue, lots of people are having the same issue as me and none of your suggestion work  unlike the 1703 which didn't freeze for me but sadly 1709 does but seems like Microsoft hasn't acknowledge the problem yet..   #Microsoft fix it

    Submitting issue to feedback hub doesn't really help resolving the issue. Is there any official MS acknowledgement for this issue, any roadmap on resolving it?

    I have long freezes - over 10 minutes after start up, and i've tried above steps without success.

    In place install. is when you download the ISO from Microsoft and install Windows 10 1709 right from the ISO this fixes corruption from the download.  They try to blame it on Anti-Virus  a load of crap.

    doing it this way does not require any applications to be re-installed

    this worked on One PC I did it on.

    the solution that has worked everytime 3/3 times is doing a full refresh

    settings recovery reset this PC.

    this wipes all applications from the PC and gives  you a fresh install with Drivers  and your Data if you chose that option.

    Something that I just did on a clients PC with and SSD is

    powercfg /h off  from admin enabled command prompt.

    there is really no reason to use Hybernation or sleep with faster ssd enabled PCs. 

    this fixed the problem on a PC that I have been having problems with for weeks after 1709

    also if you have 8GB and over turn off the Paging File  I did that as well

    Most machines come with 8GB up to 64GB of Ram  Virtual Memory was designed for the days when memory was scarce and expensive

    and needed the ability to swap memory from the HDD to RAM and Back  I disable it on all new machines as well as disabling enable caching under policies for my hard drive.

    Microsoft Ultimately needs to fix this broken update. However if the solution I put in place works then at least peoples PCs will stop crashing.

    the messed up part about this update its hit or miss weather you will have problems or not.

    Some Machines I have installed it on have had no problems what so ever.

    no so lucky with others.

    Could you please explain how you did such a 'reset of the OS'?

    And what's the difference with an 'in place install'?

    Thanks in advance!

    the only working solution

    that has worked 3 out of 3 times for me is reset the OS

    keeping your data.

    It fixes the issues

    even an in place install does not work

    I've done everything bar resetting my PC which isn't something I want to do right now, obviously however I'm no longer running the latest version of Windows because it keeps crashing my system...
