I don't see anything in your screen grab that tells me your machine requires a restart, let alone several times a day. You may have mentioned it earlier in the thread, and if so, I apologize. If it's simply the presence of "errors" in the Event Logs, some of them classified as critical, I would say so what? When the fraudsters call, pretending to be from Microsoft, and they point out that your machine has "errors" to get you to cough up a credit card number, it's all smoke. Every PC has errors. 99% of the time they don't mean anything significant. The "Reliability Monitor" is another place to look. Cortana can find it. ** Paul This may be of help too:- https://lifehacker.com/how-to-troubl...tor-1745624446 -- David B.

And for the record, you *love* to reinstall, and you should have pointed that out :-) Yes, Your Honor. It's a mess after a MAJOR Win 10 update! I *hate* to reinstall, but if that's what it takes... I do it. For me, reinstalling is admitting defeat. ... If I have to reinstall, I only want to do it one time. Not like it was "fun" or something. I always find my Win 10 more responsive after a clean install followed by the latest KB. And I have little programs installed: Office 2007, Firefox, Starcraft, 7-zip, Visual Foxpro, ... those standard stuffs. -- @~@ Remain silent! Drink, Blink, Stretch!

I downloaded the then new Win10 over the top of Win7 as advised by MSoft. Some say it's better to start over with a new copy of Win10 on a fresh HDD and then transfer programs & data across to this. Is this so, and why? I,m having so much bother with stalled updates and suprise shutdowns I,m desperate to try anything! Has anyone else done this, and has it improved performance? I've done upgrades both ways and I've had success and failures on both fronts. So for me there must be other variables, drivers, hardware, apps. As for updates, I've had and heard about AV software causing all sorts of issues. My Insider Preview just lately took me 3 days to get it to update to the next build. 100% of the issue was Avast AV and 100% my senior moment of forgetting my own advice. Once Avast was removed the update ran through without a hitch. Al
