Finished with Windows 10
Finished with Windows 10
Hello. Since Windows 10 CU starts Chrome, everything works smoothly at login. Once it launches, Chrome quickly restores my previous sessions. However, during loading, all icons freeze and the browser becomes unresponsive. You usually close Task Manager to end it, but that doesn’t help. Even restarting didn’t fix it—my system kept freezing and I had to force a shutdown. Recently, the problem returned, so I dug deeper. But I couldn’t do much; launching settings was slow. Task Manager consumed about 40% CPU, and overall usage reached 70%. It’s frustrating. With Microsoft updates, everything seems to break. Windows 10 has been more troublesome than a chronic migraine. I’ve had to try reinstalling, drivers, and even Linux, but nothing seems to work. At this point, I’m wondering why I haven’t tried installing macOS or Linux yet?
It makes sense to revisit an older OS developed by the same team behind Windows 10, since it might offer familiar features and stability. Meanwhile, Microsoft seems to delay providing updates for Windows 7, which could leave users without essential support.
I appreciate this logic. Everything else stayed the same until the developers made their update, except for that change. Before then: everything worked fine after the update—Chrome would lock the system on startup, and the only fix was a full restart. Seems like I might have made a mistake.
Just because it looks okay doesn't mean everything is fine. (Do you know what Event Viewer is?) One of my computers appeared normal, but since it was still upgraded from version 7, I expected some problems with the update, so I performed a clean install and everything worked perfectly. If you're facing issues after the clean install, it's likely you're making a mistake or dealing with a hardware problem.
Stay composed and run a fresh update check. It might be a brick, so investigate further. Begin with standard steps like SFC/scanow and reinstalling GPU drivers.
Sounds like your missing your motherboard chipset drivers, or they aren't compatible with the Creators Update. Get the latest motherboard chipset drivers, uninstall the old ones, restart, and install the latest ones. If your HDD/SSD is using a separate SATA controller like an additional one included by the motherboard manufacture, you need to re-install its drivers as well. Restart your system after. To ensure that Chrome didn't get corrupted by the chipset driver issue, uninstall it, and re-install the latest version of Chrome. I don't think you killed Chrome. Go under the Details tab, pick each Chrome.exe you find, and click on "End task". Chipset driver issue Why, is that every time they are updates, you don't update your stuff? Update yours drivers before starting the process, and make sure your hardware is compatible with the latest update of Windows. Microsoft recommends to wait for your wave to come before upgrading. If you force things, then you can fall into these kind of issues. Well you are clearly doing something wrong, or your computer is not Windows 10 ready. Go ahead. If your PC isn't Windows 10 ready, or you having difficulty using Windows 10, then another OS might be best for you. Windows has different tools in your hand to diagnose issues. You have the Event Viewer available as mentioned, and you have Memory diagnostic scan, you can also check for HDD/SSD failures via S.M.A.R.T technology. You can use a disk utility to get that information in an understandable fashion, or you can do a disk scan from Windows.
