So, I have noticed that recently lots of games I own have been crashing on launch. I'm no software guru or anything close, but I wouldn't be surprised if Win 10 had something to do with it.

Games:
GTA V
Bf1
Bf4
The Division
BeamNG Drive

GTA V, BF1 and BF4 all said "____ has stopped working" and the other two said something like "your game crashed"

The Services window displays. Find “Superfetch” in the list.
Right-click “Superfetch“, then select “Properties“.

Legit as in not pirated? Yes. It might have nothing to do with windows I was just throwing something out there . But to answer your question, no I haven't done any Win10 repair. I have tried validating game files for all of these and I came up with nothin. Also, we can exclude BeamNG because I refunded it already.
