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"

Same problem with 22538. I think its started with this update or latest nvidia driver installation. I dont know.

NVidia Driver version is latest: 511.23

Checked SFC /scannow showing no problem.

I have a laptop, but interestingly, also the crucial mx500. Could that be the issue? 🤔

I do have same problem crashes to blue screen when I clicked on performance in task manager, after I have swapped my HDD to SSD and HDD to cd drive using caddy; and installed windows 10 2004 on my SSD.

my ssd is WD-Blue performance is great, but I can't see it in task manager.
