I have HP 14-cf2009nt 9MG22EA Notebook
Since i have installed Microsoft Windows 10, i have an issue on randomly freezing feature.
I tried v.2004 and v.1909 but still have the same issue.
I have tried to install the last BIOS update from HP support and Win Updates.
There is no black or blue screeen nor error code. Just screen freeze and only power button works to restart.
I tried to solve the problem by using Driver Updaters but there is no result.
I think my problem looks like the problem on that video:

I hope someone help me solving this issue ASAP
Best regards...

Hi,
I installed it from downloaded iso file from Microfost, didnt used Recovery media.
I performed diagnostic test you advided and all of them result PASSED.
+ I performed memtest86 to check memory problems, its also result clear.
I have win 10 (v.2004) 64x, I tried older version even win 8.1 but there was same issue.
Its interesting that It frozen when I was installing once. So I thought its a hardware problem, but all test results are clear.
At the end, I will throw the notebook to the wall.... Its real salvation!!!

Thank you for posting back.
I appreciate your efforts to try and resolve the issue. This sounds like the windows operating system is not installed correctly due to that computer is not booting into windows desktop.
The last thing I can suggest trying to restore the computer back to the factory settings. Performing an HP system recovery (Windows ) While doing the recovery there is an option to backup your personal files. If you have not previously done one now is a good time.
Restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows )You can also contact HP support for assistance. They can remotely access your system to help alleviate difficulties: www.hp.com/contacthp/
The HP Cloud Recovery Tool allows you to download recovery software to a USB drive. You can use the downloaded recovery image file in order to install the Windows operating system.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

Hi,
I am not sure whether this is the same issue. After I upgraded to Windows 10 version 2004, I experienced serious lags and freezing every now and then. I could barely used my computer. When I looked it up in the Task Manager, it appeared that Windows was doing something that required 100% disk utilization and occasionally some high CPU usage. Upon closer inspection, apparently, Windows was doing some maintenance stuffs (indexing, superfetch, update, etc.). So I let it run overnight for a couple of days and let it finish whatever it needs to do. It runs fine now.
