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"

Exact same issue for me. BSOD when running TaskManager->Performance, every time.

Fixed by installing NVidia drivers (standard) : 426.78-quadro-desktop-notebook-win10-64bit-international-whql
All good now.
