After upgrade to windows 10 you may face Computer crashs and freezes continuously. Your Windows PC may have automatically rebooted itself and showing blue screen with some Error code.
The issues mostly encountered by the users were incompatibility of hardware and drivers because initially, they were designed to run on your original windows before upgrading, and after the upgrade they transited permanently into Windows 10. This is by far the most common cause of random hangs & freezes on Windows 10.
On Windows 10 computers when the system becomes unresponsive (the user cannot do anything on the computer), the only method to get Windows 10 back and working is to continuously press the Power button to completely shutdown the system.

Turn Off Link State Power Management

Link State Power Management is a power saving mechanism. It has two options, the first one which is Moderate Power Savings, saves less power but recovers  quickly from the sleep state. The second one, Maximum Power Savings, saves more power and the time to recover from sleep state is increased.

Enable Fast Startup

Windows 10 came with no shortage of performance improvements, but one of the neatest is its fast boot times. If your machine is taking too long to boot up, ensure this setting is enabled to speed things along.

The feature in question is called Fast Startup. The way it works is when you shutdown your computer, rather than just dumping everything in RAM, Windows will save an image of your loaded kernel and drivers in something called the hiberfile. This way, when the system boots up again, it simply reloads this file, making boot times much faster. To enable this, follow these steps:



Search for and open “Power options” in the Start Menu.
Click “Choose what the power buttons do” on the left side of the window.



Click “Change settings that are currently unavailable.”
Under “Shutdown settings” make sure “Turn on fast startup” is enabled.

 Disable Unnecessary Services

Services are very much like programs in Startup, except they can be much more crucial to the overall operation of Windows. There are lots of Microsoft-specific features that are enabled, but there are some that most people don't need. Have a look through the Services tab and read the description of each one. You can stop a service to see if it impacts anything, and reenable it if necessary. You can also permanently disable a service from starting at all.
1. Right-click the Start button
2. Click Task Manager
3. Click Services
4. Right-click a specific service and choose “Stop”



Specially stopping the windows updates service will vary helpful for me.

Issues with random freeze on Windows 10 can be caused by your network drivers, especially if they are out of date. If that’s the case, you might want to visit your network adapter manufacturer’s website and download the latest drivers.
