Before I had Windows 10, my PC crashed very rarely. Then I installed Windows 10 Insider Preview. Now it is crashing at least two times a week. One reason is that about 1000 processes of "Java Web Launcher" are started at the same moment so RAM and CPU are overloaded.
Apart from that, I get a bluescreen very often. Here are the error messages I wrote down:
- FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE
- MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
- CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED
- KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE
- PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
- BAD_POOL_HEADER
- IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
- SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
(I can't see any pattern here!)
Another annoying thing is that the Windows bar doesn't work properly: I can't open the Windows menu, Windows search/ Cortana and the notifications. And I can't right-click a program icon on the Windows bar.
I wanted to downgrade to Windows 7, but the deadline of 30 days was expired, so I resetted Windows 10. I made a backup for all my important files, connected an empty, bootable USB stick and downloaded a program which should re-install Windows 10.
Oddly enough, it ran directly from the downloads folder without using the USB stick. The installation did work. But after it, the old files were not deleted, they were just moved to the folder "Windows.old", and some programs, like XAMPP were not removed completely. And after one week, the old bugs occurred again, even more frequently.
With all the crashes and bugs, my PC is nearly useless. What should I do to reset my PC properly? If necessary, I would switch to Linux, but I prefer Windows.
