Default Bill Gates: Control-Alt-Delete 'was a mistake'

Windows has some video failures covered now by a
watchdog, and "VPU recover". If you see the screen
blink to black for half a second, go check the
Event Viewer, and you may find you've just had
a video issue.

I don't have any games on Win10, so cannot comment
on how good the stability is now. I use low-end video
cards for builds, and haven't had a "good" video
card in some time. And the current price of
video cards, does not encourage doing anything
about that either.

How do you find it in Events...not so simple as:

zgrep -i "error|fail" /var/log/syslog*| grep SomeService

There are still interesting online games that does NOT require super GPU.

That feature was introduced in at least 7, and possibly Vista. When the
screen recovers, it pops a message alerting the user that the display
has been recovered.

zgrep -i "error|fail" /var/log/syslog*| grep SomeService


True, that doesn't work, but it's equally simple. Use the "Filter
Current Log..." Action item on the right side of the Event Viewer window
after navigating to the proper section on the left, probably Windows
Logs - System (or Application).

Yes but you cannot search with any search term like "VPU recover" you
have to check some value from a predefined list... No VPU anything.
