Card reader may be an issue but it hardly explains hard locking and sound card noise, and it DEFINITELY doesn't explain having to wait 2-3 hours to reboot. Hell the card reader may even function badly as an effect not as a cause.

I agree with your second sentence... however, I have had USB devices DEFINITELY cause crashing of the system, locking up of the system and delayed/no booting of systems (And, they have at times caused sound problems).

As, I stated, my assessment was based off the log he provided.

If disconnecting USB and SD-card reader ain't working let me put it simple for u @Naki

When u run Insider builds it's like alpha and beta software u will experience problems not everything is flawless I know that I been in Microsoft's beta program back in the day of Windows Vista, 7, Windows 8/8.1 and 10. (Also did some beta testing for Oppo's android version for their Find 7 phones nice and awesome phone I still thinking this even I got a iphone 7 plus now.)

I stopped because I don't have the time to wrap my head around it anymore even now with the first 5 updates after Anniversary update I have network quirks with my Intel I219-V when updating doesn't matter if I use KIS2017 or not I loose 10times my download speed and it's Microsoft patch released because removing the patches I get my speed back and tested with older and newer drivers with that said not every system behave the same even they contain the same components ppl often forgets that, I have this question sometimes daily from customers.
