Windows crashing after clicking PERFORMANCE tab under Task Manager

Anonymous

Hello Windows Community folks

Windows 10 keeps crashing after I click Performance TAB in Task Manager. It crashes the windows going into the infamous Green screen with reason- Windows preview build failed. I have tried several debug options like cmd SFC Scan, DISM.

I have not specifically touched registry keys as I am afraid I will end up breaking something else.

What options do I have? Please suggest.

Thanks

Thanks,

this helped for me,

I changed

NVIDIA System Control > 3D Settings > Global Settings > Preferred GPU

from "NVIDIA high performance processor"

back to "auto select"

I had the same problem.

I solved it by ensuring my nvidia driver was up to date

I have the exact same issue. It started just today. I have reinstalled my Windows to a new SSD and put my HDD into a caddy (in place of the DVD drive). Are you in a similar scenario? I'm running a Crucial MX500 and performance was flawless till the windows update arrived. I had been using it smoothly for over a week now. Microsoft needs to start paying attention here.

exact same with me. have you resolved this?
