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

J

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"

    Yes, twenty-four of them! The process is quite slow, so I will do this over the weekend. I will post updates here.

    Are there any other drivers that need updating as per driverdoc? If so, pls go ahead and update them all. Since I did that, the performance tab has been flawless - more than 3 weeks now. 

    Pls keep us updated.

    Guys, updating the Realtek Audio Driver using DriverDoc worked for now! I can access the Performance tab without any problem. This is one weird issue! Do try updating the rest of your drivers, as user GeorgeWadie above suggested. 

    I will report back if the issue repeats, but for now it has been okay for an hour. 

    Edit: And it's back. I am too scared to even go there anymore. I guess I can live without going in there till the next Windows update.
