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"

    This issue needs urgent attention from Microsoft. I am a new user here, does Microsoft monitor these threads? What is the ideal formal process to log an issue with them? Thanks in advance.

    I bet the issue is not with the Office installation. It is just something else that clicks. I installed Office 2013 right after installing windows on my new SSD. 

    And, do you also have your old HDD placed in the CD Driver bay?

    Same problem here, I use a Samsung RF-511 notebook and started after a day using Windows 10 2004 on a new SSD (WD Green 480GB), the strange thing is that on the first day I was able to access the performance tab without problems, it started after I installed the Office 2010 and I updated it.
