Windows 10 1709 freeze randomly

No one freeze or reboot since I disabled fast start in December.

I am letting everyone know what my last actions were to try to resolve this problem. I can't tell you if these will be a working solution for you, and I am not sure whether or not they were my solution. All I can say is that after doing these, I have not had any problems for the last 4 weeks.

I thought all my drivers were up to date, but got tired of trying to check them one at a time. So, I installed Drive Booster 5 by IObit to do a mass check of all my drivers. It found 4 of my drivers were out of date and allowed me to replace them with current versions. I also made sure to install the latest NVIDIA Graphics Driver for my system. I have had no freezes since.

Good Luck

I waited a while and decided to try this method, figuring that it was because I didn't install the latest version of my drivers (my processor is an AMD FX 6300 6-Core) and I read that Window 709 had problems with gaming using AMD processors. I updated all of my drivers and  installed Windows 1709 Saturday night and it worked relatively well until tonight. I'd also like to note that I have 1709 installed on the Laptop I am using to type this right now and I've only had one instance of Freezing when I pulled out and reinserted my headphone jack.

One thing that I noticed in the last two attempts to give 1709 a go is that everytime it freezes, whether I'm playing a game or just stepping away for a second (as it was this time) upon doing a soft reset it installs another update but since it hasn't been 10 days yet I'm not willing on waiting to take the chance that the update will fix it just for it to happen again and be stuck potentially bricking my PC by having to soft reset a lot. I really hope that I am able to use 1709 at one point as overall some things did seem to run faster, but I guess I'll wait another couple of months and hope that I can successfully update without any issues one day.

Yikes! I think MS will pay the day Global Warming freezes over. I turned off Windows ‘Fast Startup’ last night as MarcD suggested. Im on my phone now. Gonna bootup my laptop later & see if that works. If it does Im gonna feel bad for you spending 100 €’s.

Just an update on Acronis 2010 causing the freeze problem,  I also tried a later version Acronis 2016 and this caused the same problem.  Uninstalled and all ok again.  Now using AOEMI free cloning software and this works fine with no issues on version 1709.  Now been going for 24 hours without any freezing up.  Looks like version 1709 is causing a lot of headaches!

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.
