WIndow 10 Creator Edition Lock ups

Since updating to Creator, I am experiencing system lock ups. They
range form mild when the mouse works with in the window, and not on the
header menu of the window. Example When I am playing a Windows 7 game,
like solitaire, I get response when I click the tiles, but there is no
response when I click the menu to play a new game. This situation can
be corrected by clicking the taskbar. When playing games I always turn
off the wireless connection Then every thing works normal

The other situation is more dramatic. When working in something like
the 64bit Firefox with a couple of open tabs, the system freezes
completely, no response from the mouse of from the touch pad. When this
happens you have to hold the power button down to do a hard shut down of
the computer.

I have noticed there seems to be a lot of activity in a program call
Windows audio Device graph isolation. I am not sure if it is active
when the crash occurs with Firefox.

They added "XBOX Game Bar" to the OS. I gather this is like ShadowPlay.

And the "graph isolation", is a new home for proprietary audio DSP drivers.
If your audio chip manufacturer wants to add a "concert hall echo effect"
to the sound path, a separate process implements the feature. If the audio
driver destabilizes the system, just that process is affected. Seems a bit
balmy, after all these years of "having to make it work" :-)

I ran a test case.

Firefox 53.0
Win10 15063.xxx (patched up to this morning, might be same as yours)
Sound test: https://archive.org/details/HouseOfT...LaurenOConnell

First I used the default (Microsoft) audio driver on my RealTek
motherboard ALC892 audio (Stereo output). The Audiodg.exe measured
0.1% CPU while the music played.

Then I downloaded the 217MB RealTek driver (x64 version near the top).
I put on the Firefox track again. I turned on sound effects ("Concert Hall")
as well as the Equalizer ("Pop" mode). Audiodg.exe still remains
at 0.1%. When audio stops, audiodg drops to 0.0%.

No other process (like RealTek branded ones) mis-behaved either.

Seems to work pretty good here.

My video card is HD6450 from ATI, a $40 card or so. I expect
graphical acceleration is enabled in Firefox, as the card has
a handful of shaders on it. And enough RAM that compositing
would not be a problem (compositing typically needs 128MB,
card has 1GB onboard).

You'll have to think a bit, about any customizations that
distinguish your setup. Anything out of the ordinary ?
Did previous OS versions kick up a stink ?

I think my OS started at 10240, and has been upgraded
through all the intervening OS versions.

Also, the setting that makes the mouse pointer automatically move to
the 'OK' etc button doesn't work!
