Well, as mentioned earlier I was tracking down the reason identical installations of SH5 would not work (i.e not crash or freeze the pc) on one laptop and function perfectly on the other when both ran Windows 10 x64 and the only difference was a newish graphics card (Nvidia Geforce GTX 560M vs GTX 860m).

I seem to have finally narrowed it down to a NVIDA driver problem.

In the most recent NVIDIA driver update (358.87 released early November 2015) something or another was freezing up once the navigation map was being used in SH5 with the GTX 860M. Actually, all the updates of October 2015 had the same problem.

A rollback to a previous NVIDIA driver update from August 2015 ended the problem (update 355.98).

As for what part of the driver or which .dll was mucking it up, I'll leave that to up to the more inquisitive subsimmers to figure out.
