Runtime Error-abnormal program termination on Windows 10

Hello Dave,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

Regret the inconvenience you have experienced.

Are you getting this error during Startup?

Did you made any changes to your PC?

Is your PC up to date with Windows Updates?

Suggest you to perform Clean Boot and see if helps you in fixing the issue. A clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program. Follow the below mentioned steps to perform Clean Boot:

a. Press Windows Key, type msconfig in the search box, and hit Enter.

b. On the Services tab of the System Configuration dialog box, tap or click to select the Hide all Microsoft services check box, and then tap or click Disable all.

c. On the Startup tab of the System Configuration dialog box, tap or click Open Task Manager.

d. On the Startup tab in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and then click Disable.

e. Close Task Manager.

f. On the Startup tab of the System Configuration dialog box, tap or click OK, and then restart the computer. Now see if it makes any difference.

If a service is causing issue, I suggest you turn on 5 services at a time, reboot and then see if the problem reappears, keep repeating this until you find a group of 5 services, which are causing this issue, then check the one by one, till you find the one which is causing your issue. Perform the same divide and apply for Startup's too.

Refer the below article on "How to Perform Clean Boot". As the article is designed for Windows 8.1, Windows 8 and Windows 7. Unlike launching step for 'System Configuration', options and steps to Clean Boot are same for Windows 10.

Note: After you finish troubleshooting, refer "How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting" from the same article.

Moreover, ensure that your system is up to date with Windows Updates. Go to Start Button/>Settings/>Update & Security/> Windows Update and check for any available updates. Also suggest you to check and install all latest and compatible windows 10 drivers from Manufacture's website for your device. Most probably it will fix all issues.

Keep us posted the outcome.
