Windows 10 Freezes

Is any one else having problems with Windows 10 freezing. It usually
starts when I have a program open to full screen. First while the
mouse works in the program window, nothing works on the menu. To
reactivate, I must click on the toolbar, and then every thing works as
normal.

Eventually the screen completely freezes and the only way to do anything
with the computer is to do a hard shut down.

Once it restarts every thing works again, NO error codes.


Intel i3 processor, 8GB ram 1TB storage. Windows 10 Creator Edition,
last update tonight.

You might look at the history for Windows Update in settings. There
could be an update that is not successfully installing.

This sounds like an Intel graphics problem (on platforms
where the GPU is inside the Intel CPU, and is in actual usage).

There's a Reliability Monitor you can play with.

Keith,

If you are running MalwareBytes v3.x - it may be the cause because when it
does a background scan, it uses 100% of the resources and everything
onscreen freezes. Even trying Ctrl-Alt-Del can take minutes to bring up the
task menu. MalwareBytes are more than aware of the problem, have a beta
version out but they really don't have a clue on how to fix it yet. Most
other antivirus software throttles back when it senses something else going
on.

Why don't you just go **** yourself.

That was a real answer and it happens on a number of Win10 installs I have
seen.

Bob,

There is a new version available - mb3-setup-consumer-3.1.2.1733

I have installed the update and, after a brief test, did not see any
lockup problems.

If you want something to read, I will add the list of updates here as
listed in "changes.txt"


Malwarebytes 3.1.2.1733

Performance/protective capability
• Multiple enhancements result in reduction of memory usage
• Faster load time and responsiveness of third-party applications
• Improved performance of Web Protection
• Faster Malwarebytes 3 program startup time and responsiveness of
user interface
• New detection and protection layer with machine learning based
anomaly detection (to be deployed gradually even if it shows “enabled”
under Settings)
• Improved Self-Protection by requiring escalated privileges to
disable protections or deactivate a license
• Enhanced malware protection techniques and remediation
capabilities
• Added an automatic monthly scheduled scan in Free mode

Usability
• Added ability to control the priority of manual scans on the
system
• Added setting to turn off ‘Real-Time Protection turned off’
notifications when protection was specifically disabled by the user
• Added ability to exclude the last website blocked by Web
Protection via the tray menu
• Fixed several defects related to configuring Custom Scans,
including selecting child folders and fixing issues with touch screens
• Fixed problem where a right-click context scan appeared broken
after scheduled scan due to misleading "Cannot start a scan while
another one is in progress" message
• Fixed issue where you could not add or edit a scheduled scan in
Spanish and some other languages
• Fixed issue where scan could appear stuck on Heuristics Analysis
when it had actually completed successfully
• Fixed issue where Self-Protection setting would fail to toggle
correctly after an upgrade

Stability/issues fixed
• Fixed several crashes in the Web Protection module
• Fixed issue where Ransomware Protection would be stuck in
‘Starting’ state after a reboot
• Fixed a conflict with Norton that caused web pages not to load and
plug-ins to crash in Chrome
• Fixed issue with WMI protection technique in Exploit Protection
that could cause Office applications to crash
• Fixed several crashes related to the service and tray
• Fixed many other miscellaneous defects and user interface
improvements

HTH,

Monty,

I installed several installations of the latest version of MBAM update on
some client systems to test what they stated (above). Thank you for your
input.

And in case Keith is reading this - I owe you an apology. I have the person
blocked that you were responding to and it shows up as you responding to me.
Sorry. Need to engage brain before responding to posts. To little sleep
the past few days and got a bit testy.
