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"

I had a similar issue for my laptop after a windows update, my task manager used to crash when I take the performance tab. I just got it fixed right now. May be this step will be helpful.

Below are the steps i did

I took the NVIDIA control panel

I selected Manage 3d settings from the right panel.
See the below diagram for your reference. In the Programm settings (Left side), I selected task manager and the preferred graphics processor as NVIDIA. For me Integrated graphics was selected as default. After applying this change, now I am not facing any issues
It doesn't work to me when choosing NVIDIA Graphic in the last step, so, I have to select integrated graphic in the last step and It works to me !!
