Revert back to win7 or do a clean install or take it somewhere. That doesn't mean the car is a bad car, right. As a user, unless you are familiar with the OB11 scanner codes and the right tools to troubleshoot a modern car yourself, then you won't find the problem. I probably sound like the M$ people you hate but unfortunately, love it or hate it, windows is very complicated. It could be something cryptic like a memory leak from a non compliant driver or another process eating up a huge amount of processing time due to incompatibilities or corruption as part of the upgrade. (Could it be something coincidental like a blocked CPU fan overheating the CPU?) It involves using tools like tracing, monitoring, etc to try to find the error. Someone who know what they're doing can find it and fix it. Unfortunately, M$ has never really been user friendly like that when it comes to errors. Or even better, why don' you post a few screenshots showing what's going on? Given that you tried for 3 hours, I assume you have a compromised system: BSOD, maybe? Virus? I opened up the event viewer, located a warning with an ID of 1014, double-clicked on it, and got a popup window with useful information: the webpage that was being accessed, the nature of the problem (all DNS servers timed out) etc. Hmmmm can you give an example, and say which Windows you are using? Why bother doing this if when you go to see more information about an Event ID that Microsoft created, to inform you of an issue with your computer, they tell you they couldn't find the page or such an Event ID? WTF?

Step five: you run out of luck because Microsoft fails miserably to give you the information that they directed you to in the first place. Step four: you click on the damn link to see more information which takes you directly to a Microsoft owned website. Step three: Microsoft gives you a clickable link under the list of events, in the General section by the More Information line.

Step two: Microsoft enables those event ID's to alert the user to potential issues via a leveling system (ranging from informative to critical) What I get out of this is the following bullshit logic:
