Method one: Increase the virtual memory

Some users meet the Windows 10 freezes issue after Windows 10 April Update, which may indicate that the system occupies too much virtual memory so that the high CPU usage causes the freeze issue.

As a result, there will be more space to run a program and reduce the possibility of Windows 10 freezes randomly issue on boot or after startup.

To increase the virtual memory, there are some steps available.

1. Open Control Panel by searching in the search box;

2. Search for “system” and choose “Advanced system settings”;

3. Then follow the steps to increase your virtual memory.

Method two: Go back to the previous Windows version

A few users can repair the Windows 10 freezes randomly issue by simply increasing the virtual memory, while others may not. If the Windows Update really bothers a lot and fails to run well on your computer, try to go back to the previous Windows version.

In Windows settings, it’s possible to update the system, also to go back to the previous one when the new system cannot run well. Before going back to the previous Windows version, remember to back up your important files.

1. Win + I to open Windows Settings, and choose “Update & Security”;

Before installing the new display driver, please pay attention if it’s compatible with your system. Or you can use Driver Booster to help update the display driver or other drivers automatically.

With Driver Booster, there is no need to worry about the compatibility of the drivers and the system. All drivers in Driver Booster have passed WHQL test and are from their official websites. The security is guaranteed.

Method four: Try system file checker

The Windows 10 freezes randomly issue can also attribute to the system file corrupt or missing. To solve this kind of problem, you can recover the original system file with system file checker.

1. Win + R and enter “cmd” to open system file checker;

2. Type “sfc /scannow” in the Command Prompt window and hit “Enter”;

Then Windows will scan your computer for corrupt files and fix them automatically. It may take a little time. You need to leave this window open until the operation finishes. When it is done, it will show the results of the scan.

After all steps, restart the system and check if the Windows 10 freezes randomly issue has gone.
