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"

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

JI faced same problem. I own Lenovo ThinkPad w530 workstation with windows 10 pro. Uninstalled Realtek drivers didn't solve the problem. The actual problem was with Nvidia k2000 driver updated by windows by default. Later just went Lenovo site and downloaded system update software and it updated Nvidia display driver (around 600MB) and restarted . It solved the problem and reinstalled Realtek audio driver through windows update.

I have ASUS X541UJ notebook, today installed WIN10 x64 20H2, and i was this problem.
After VGA driver update problem is solved! -

Thanks!

2021-04-23T23:00:16+00:00 Just want to drop this here. My laptop is a W530 Lenovo ThinkPad. I had the same problem after updating to 2004 & 20H2. I tracked it down to the Nvidia Quadro k1000m driver. Windows uses a default driver that is older than the version you can find from the Nvidia website. Here is the link.
NVIDIA DRIVERS Quadro Desktop/Quadro Notebook Driver Release 418 WHQL
Best of luck to you.
Hey Microsoft! I've been dealing with this issue since my laptop updated during the summer of 2020! Fix this issue already!
