Screen freezes after upgrade to windows 10

Hi Paolo,

Thank you for being part of Windows 10.

I would suggest you to check for updates and make sure that your computer is installed with all the latest one available till date.

Also, to help resolve this issue, use the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe) to determine which file is causing the issue, and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open an elevated command prompt.
2. Type the following command, and then press ENTER: sfc /scannow (yes there is a space after sfc)                                                                         The sfc /scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions. This scan make take a while to complete.     

Hope this helps you. Let us know either way. Make it a great day!

I have tried that, yet even still, the screen randomly freezes on me. I have updated Windows 10 with the latest update and the screen still freezes on me because of "Power_State_Failure" (when I leave it alone and it turns into a blue screen if I do not force restart it) or something like that, and it is annoying me to no end!

Are you guys at Microsoft even gonna do anything about this to prevent screen freezes from happening again? Because it happens almost every day I use it and it is ruining my workflow.

PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP!

Thank you for your attention.

P.S. I use a Toshiba Qosmio Gaming Laptop that is running Windows 10.

Ensure to update all pending updates and also, update all device drivers from the Device Manager. Remember to restart the system to keep the Windows up to date.

I suggest you to perform a Clean Boot to find out which application/service is causing this issue.

Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

Thank you.

I upgraded from windows to 10; use an Acer aspire; never had any crashes or freezes until I upgraded to win10. Now I get almost daily freezes, with no way to escape except hard shut down. BAD for me and my computer!   All updates are done in a timely manner,  in fact some of the updates coincided with the freezes. When I have tried to update various drivers I receive message that all drivers are the most recent available.

PLEASE help resolve this issue. 

Hello Rathad,

I tried to perform a "Clean Boot" but I am not able to get past the first step, i.e., "

1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search. Or, if you are using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, and then click Search.

When I swipe the top right edge, middle right edge, bottom right edge or any other right edge with my hand, all I get is a vertical gray bar on the right hand side of the screen with the wording, "ACTION CENTER" on the top and all these other things such as "tablet mode, all settings, location, airplane mode, tablet something, etc." on the bottom. There is no Search. When I use my mouse and point my curser to the lower-right corner, nothing happens. Please advise further on how to perform a "Clean Boot". 

Better yet, get rid of these freezes, crashes - whatever you want to call them.

Thank you.
