I would roll back the updates individually, then reboot to see if that

CONTROL PANEL

UPDATE AND SECURITY

UPDATE HISTORY

UNINSTALL UPDATES

Look for the most recent "Installed on" and start un-installing.

Only other idea would be to make sure all the drivers (video, chipset,

NIC, etc) are as up-to-date as possible.
