I am curious as to whether many others on this forum have experienced a lot of random lockups of the OS in Windows 10 since the Anniversary Update a few months back.
It is happening to me a lot, sometimes dozens of times per day. I've tried a lot of things without any success. On Microsoft's site they acknowledge that a minority of machines have been experiencing this (they closed the thread after thousands of people posted that they have this problem), but this was a few months ago without any specific statement from MS saying that they have it solved or are still working on it. Even though there have been several updates since the Anniversary Update, there has been no silver bullet. They had suggested that a common thread may be PCs with the OS running on an SSD and data on a separate drive. I tested this by disconnecting all secondary and backup drives so that there was just the SSD running, and it still froze. At this point I just want to know if I am alone with this issue, or if many others are experiencing it. If the latter, then perhaps there is still hope that Microsoft will fix it . . . .
It is so disruptive that I even contemplated getting a new PC, but when I called my hardware vendor they said they are aware of the issue and there is no guarantee that the new PC won't have the same problem.
