How to Fix Computer Freezing After Windows 10 Update?

I. Why the computer freezes/crashes/crashes after Windows update?

After Windows update is likely to cause the whole system to freeze/frozen due to various reasons, or Windows 10 becomes super stuck after automatic update. But we can’t not update the system because we are afraid of possible problems, because only by updating the system in time can we ensure that the computer will not experience major failures during daily use.

So why is there a problem of freezing/freezing/stuttering after Windows update? The cause is usually due to a software conflict, or a problem that was unknown before running Windows Update, but only appeared after the update. Alternatively, it could be due to an error in the update file.

Although the cause of the current problem is unknown, it is not difficult to solve the problem. Let’s learn how to solve the computer crash after Windows update.

II. How to solve the problem of computer crash after Windows update?

1. Restart the computer

Restarting the computer can solve many computer failures to a certain extent, so when Windows crashes after updating, you might as well try to press and hold the power button of the computer to force shutdown to solve the current unexplained crash status. Of course, if the computer just becomes particularly stuck after the update, and you can still perform some operations with the mouse, it is recommended to use the mouse to click (Start)-(Power)-(Restart) in the lower left corner of the taskbar.

2. Update the driver of the device to the latest state

When you experience Windows freezes after updating, it may be due to incompatible hardware and drivers. At this time, it is recommended that you update the driver of the device (such as the hard disk or other devices that display an exclamation mark) in time. Since you may not be able to enter the system normally, you can choose to update the driver after entering the safe mode.

The following are the steps to update the driver in safe mode (taking the Windows 10 system interface as an example):

Step 1: You can first enter the Windows recovery environment and then enter the safe mode. Press the power button to turn it on first, then press the power button to force shutdown when the startup logo appears. Repeat this step three times to enter the Windows recovery environment.

Step 2: On the “Choose an option” screen, select (Troubleshoot) > (Advanced Options) > (Startup Settings) > (Restart) option.

Step 3: After the device restarts, you will see the option to launch settings. You can press the number keys to choose which safe mode to use to enter Windows, for example, press (4) to enable safe mode.

Step 4: After entering safe mode, right click and select (This Computer)-(Management)-(Device Manager). Then right-click to select the disk or other devices that display an exclamation mark, and select the (Update Driver) option.

Step 5: Next, select the (Automatically search for updated driver software) option, and then follow the instructions to complete the update of the device driver. After the driver update is complete, restart the computer to see if the problem is resolved.

3. Try performing a system restore

System Restore can restore the system to a system state that was working normally before, and it can help to solve the freezing/freezing problem after updating Windows. The specific operation steps are as follows:

Step 1: When the computer logo appears on startup, press and hold the power button to force shutdown, repeat more than 3 times, and let the computer enter the Windows recovery environment.

Step 2: When the screen displays to select an option, please click (Troubleshooting) – (Advanced Options) – (System Restore) in sequence.

Step 3: Then, select a recent restore point before the error occurred to restore, click (Next) and wait for the restore process to complete.
