Windows 11 Constantly Crashing

Anonymous

Has anyone figured out a way to get the Windows 11 OS to stop crashing? My computer is near non-functional as I can't even use it for more than 10 minutes.

And honestly anyone looking into downloading Windows 11 should NOT download.

Over the past week or so that I've had Windows 11 my computer has crashed at least twice a day and today it's crashed 5 times right after start up.

Please help!

    After exhausting every other solution I could find for the Win 11 hangs (usually when running MS Flight Simulator), I decided to test the same app on the same computer but with Win 10. So using a dual boot, I put MSFS on it's own SSD and kept other apps to a minimum.

    I'm sorry to report that shortly after doing that Win 10 started hanging a few minutes into MSFS also. Flight Sim Help, after analyzing the requested files, responded:

    It's still the same thing. There are no errors generated when the app locks up which leads me to think the issue might be related to an OS error.

    I built a very high-end system mostly for that sim. So it pains me to say that the more resources I give it, the more unstable Windows 10/11 seems to become. Pure speculation though, on my part - but my old, slow Win 10 computer did not have this problem.

    After 6 months of struggle as described in my reply of 11/18/22 above, still having W11 lockups on a daily basis. W11 "event viewer" reports literally hundreds error events clustered around time of each W11 crash. Many are 3rd party drivers/apps but many are also W11 systems. Is it that W11 has created a bad environment for apps to run & then locks up as it can't handle all the errors? Asking Microsoft to contact me for analysis of each Event Viewer logs......Tom Hasty

    My problem turned out to be bad memorry. My Gen 4 m2 drive was corrupting files windows 11 OS included. It took me weeks of reserch and a replacment drive before I narrowed it down to my memory.

    Not a W11 BSOD or crash, but numerous hang ups that only a hard power off for recovery. Restart shows no system corruption & only loss is any files open/unsaved prior. Using W11 Event Viewer shows apps/drivers causing errors at time of crash which I focused on getting latest update for. W11 has gotten progressively better, but W11 Events Viewer reports many 2/3 party apps/drivers causing errors by the hundreds, as well as many MS own drivers! Obvious that W11 changes in basic operating protocols is causing pain for 2/3 party apps/drivers & is taking suppliers time to catch up. Interesting note: leaving the W11 Event Viewer app running in the background (I know the Event logger is running all the time) but constant Viewer operation seems to reduce the incidence of system crashes (?). Time will tell if MS finally gets their W11 act together.
