by

After updating Windows 10 to the latest version, a new problem occurs: users report that the opencl.dll file is corrupted. The problem seems to only affect users with NVIDIA graphics cards. Every time a user installs or updates NVIDIA drivers for a video card, the installer automatically overwrites the existing opencl.dll file in Windows 10 with its own version, corrupting the opencl.dll file.

The main problem associated with a corrupted opencl.dll file is that your computer sometimes restarts randomly after 2 minutes or sometimes after 3 hours of continuous operation.
