[PC]Neverwinter Crashes my computer since new Windows 10 patch

Anyone else hit this problem?
Some 3 days ago I received this big Windows 10 patch and since then I can't really play NWO any more, because game freeze my computer after 10-15 minutes. I tried to let it wait to see will it regenerate, but tno way, I have to force-restart computer.

Processor is not overheating, graphic card is not overheating. It is not hapening only when computer is long on, but even when I just turn it on, so overheating of anything is not the problem. What can it be?

What else can I check? I opened computer and cleaned it, so with it I unplugged and plugged everything anew. Computer is freshly reinstalled - I added another HDD and windows had a problem recognizing it, so I reinstalled windows clean. I can try installing windows fresh again, maybe something went wrong with patch, but I'll do it only if I'm the only one with this problem.

    I reinstalled NWO and it's fine now - well not really. I had to completely remove it and install anew. Also it's not working in full screen only in windowed mode. In full screen still crashes.

    That's not a bug. It is a Cryptic game feature called utter incompetence.

    Firstly @kalinthar >>> Hahahahahahaha, that made me smile inside.

    Secondly; for me this issue of windows 10 update crashing was fixed after updating Nvidia Drivers, so maybe try that.

    I now, however, have a brand new issue. Not that I can make my own thread about it. (If you're a mod just move my post to a thread and title it "[PC] Graphics Glitches in Protector's Enclave". - Thanks.

    So the problems are:
    When loading into PE, for about the first 30 seconds, random tiles become highlighted in blue and display incorrect textures.
    Anyone wearing Jarl's Gaze has a big blue Square (transparent) where their head used to be.
    NPCs faces disappear.
    Any enchants (such as Negation) worn by myself or other players do not display. This is for both weapon and armour enchants.

    All of this is temporary, but quite prohibiting and it often drops the frame rate briefly and creates long wait times to speak to NPCs - as in I look at the NPC and don't get the prompt to press "F" to interact.

    I can list the details of my PC if that helps too:

    - Intel I5 7th Gen Overclocked (of course)
    - Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080
    - 16GB DDR4 RAM
    - 1TB SSD
    - 6TB 7200rpm HDD
    - Have Fibre Optic Cables at home.
    Point here being I shouldn't really have graphical problems.


    *EDIT* Forgot to mention, the game has a memory leak whilst running on this system (Takes up about 7,127MB RAM whilst idle in PE). Which is strange because on my laptop (I have the same issues) but it only takes up 4,998MB RAM.

    *EDIT 2* Also noticed that the GPU runs quite warm whilst this happens in PE (51^0 C, room temp of about 20^0 C)
