Just an FYI, I tried the new Windows 10 Fall Update that launched a couple days ago. I had to revert back to the Windows 10 Creators update after a couple days as the Fall update for me was unstable. After installing it IF I were playing a game and switch between windows (it also happend a couple other times between different programs) would cause my whole new computer to lock up completely. I would have to reboot in order to use my computer again. Reverted back and back to having NO issues. I even tried checking event logs but no errors were logged etc.. for it.. I tried to also reinstall a few programs that I had running to see if it was a program causing it. So I would hold off for a while OR maybe it just needs to be a clean install. I just installed windows 10 with the creators update a couple months ago (new computer) so I just updated to the Fall update the other day.
 
Solution
check you have the latest motherboard drivers, as well as BIOS, as if your PC is fairly new it shouldn't be acting like that.


I did help some people with problems originating with update last week but nothing compared to the Anniversary edition last year.
