I haven't had any more driver crashes since the Tuesday update.
Same here. Several crashes today--but always on Edge. I'm in the process now of transferring my bookmarks to Chrome, which I'll be using until this gets fixed.I spoke too soon. Just had another display driver crash, right here on this site. So much for thinking and posting that the Tuesday update resolved the issue. It hasn't. Pay no attention to my posts. Apparently, I'm hallucinating or at least hoping these updates are actually improving my SP4 when reality says otherwise.
Thank you glad to see my suggestion is not completely falling on deaf ears. Just for those who missed my suggestion last page, this fix also works in IE. I really don't get the point of using Chrome, a battery and CPU hog, over IE which is better for battery life and has access to settings sync.I fixed my firefox display driver crashes. In Firefox, open menu, options, advanced, In Browsing - un-check use hardware acceleration when available. Also, I am not getting the popping anymore as well.

Because to me, the ability to pin Chrome apps to your Start Menu / Screen makes it seem as though this browser is almost designed for Windows 10. And considering I never use my Surface away from power for more than 6 hours anyway (and 6 hours was the most I've ever gotten from a laptop), the battery-drain issue is not an issue at all for me.Thank you glad to see my suggestion is not completely falling on deaf ears.

I think this is a good point. The most annoying part of the crashes is the message saying it crashed and recovered. If they would just eliminate this, it would be a huge improvement. (What's the point anyway? It's like someone who makes a right turn in his car and THEN turns on his right-turn signal.)I have had one crash while using Edge. Its so quick though Id barely know anything had happened unless the message came up. Needs sorting though Microsoft.
