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"

    Hey,

    I had open a thread about that before.

    And a member helped with this solution  :

    •  Uninstall the drivers of your  intergrated video cards (intel  and  Nvidia or AMD)
    •  Restart computer.
    •  Run WINDOWS UPDATE.
    •  RUN sfc/scannow in admin mode.
    •  Go to official Nvidia or AMD   website and get the latest drivers for  your computer or Go to your   manufacturer's website and get your  drivers  there.

    It'll fix it.
