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

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

2020-08-26T23:39:18+00:00 I SOLVED MY PROBLEM!
My notebook has an Nvidia GT 540m and I was using it with the drivers that Windows installed itself (I think it was version 361.xx, I'm not sure), when I went to install the latest version (391.35) I just managed to use the Performance tab again.

2020-08-26T23:44:58+00:00 I'm not sure, but I think the problem lies in USING THE NVIDIA GPU ON THE NOTEBOOK AS A MAIN GRAPHIC PROCESSOR instead of using Intel's integrated graphics.
