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"

    Updating my Nvidia drivers fixed it for me, also Nvidia (GT740-M)+Intel Video(HD4600) on laptop.

    Unfortunately Nvidia 377.55 is the highest version my W520  (intel graphics 3000 / Nvidia quadro 1000m) would take, the Nvidia 426.78 would not install (stated not compatible) ... as stated before a workaround is to just use the intel processor if the NVidia drivers don't cut it .... thanks to all for the input ....

    I had the same issue, my Lenovo w530 worked well until upgraded to windows 10 2004. the issue was fixed after installed the nvidia standard windows driver below:

    For me it was exactly the opposite. I had to select Integrated Graphics or it would crash when clicking performance tab. And yes, I am on the latest available driver for the NVIDIA Quadro 1000M.

    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

    1. I took the NVIDIA control panel
    2. 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
