Windows 10 freezes up 3 minutes after start up since recent update

RP921,

I have been fighting this same issue for about a week.

You should be able to get to SAFE MODE by HARD powering off (hold down the power button for 10 seconds) 3 times in a row as soon as you see the Logo or circle spinning. This should put you in Windows RE mode and allow to select START UP options. Don't remember all the options but should get you started. Another option during restart is to repeatedly press F12 should push you into trouble shooting mode so you can get to SAFE MODE. I have been operating in Safe Mode for a week now. When you finally find the startup options, be sure to choose Safe Mode with NETWORKING!

I have tried numerous things to fix this issue but nothing has worked ... yet. I have not found a solution or exact cause yet but today reinstalled graphics diver but this is an un-tested fix. It has me so upset I am considering buy a new machine (which I really do not want to do).

My Windows desktop icons and system tray loads but within about 2 minutes, system freezes! Not sure if a Windows update caused this or not.

If ANYONE here knows of a FIX, please feel free to post a solution.

Thank you in advance for any helpful input.
