It can be frustrating when your computer crashes after installing updates. Here are some suggestions that may help resolve the issue:
Try disabling Fast Startup: Fast Startup is a Windows feature that allows your computer to start up quicker after shutting it down. However, it can also cause problems with sleep and hibernate modes. To disable Fast Startup, follow these steps:
Open the Control Panel and click on "Power Options."
Click on "Choose what the power buttons do" on the left panel.
Click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable."
Uncheck the "Turn on fast startup" option.
Click on "Save changes."
Check for driver updates: Even though you have installed the latest drivers from Dell, there may be other drivers that need updating. Check the official websites of your hardware manufacturers for the latest driver updates. You can also use a third-party driver updater software like Driver Booster.
Disable Sleep and Hibernation modes: As a temporary solution, try disabling sleep and hibernation modes. To do this, follow these steps:
Open the Control Panel and click on "Power Options."
Under "Preferred plans," choose "High performance."
Click on "Change plan settings" next to "High performance."
Set "Turn off the display" and "Put the computer to sleep" to "Never."
Click on "Save changes."
Perform a System Restore: If the issue occurred after a recent Windows update, you can perform a System Restore to a point before the update was installed. To do this, follow these steps:
Press the Windows key and search for "System Restore."
Click on "Open" and follow the on-screen instructions.
Choose a restore point before the issue occurred and follow the prompts to restore your system.
