    @DarMill
    The reports show system errors related to the svchost.exe system file and other exe files of Microsoft applications.
    It doesn't show any errors related to the graphics card. The only thing that can be related to the graphics card, could be last updating drivers, which you did. After each update of the Nvidia drivers, you must restart the computer. Nvidia does not give this information - they probably think everyone knows it.
    1. Perform a full computer scan for malware. Hope you are not using Avast antivirus program - this program sometimes causes problems.
    2.Delete system junk (temporary files and folders) using Disk Cleanup
    3 Perform a clean boot on your computer

    3. Check if your Windows is up to date

    4. Run the Windows File System Controller
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/929833/use-the-system-file-checker-tool-to-repair-missing-or-corrupted-system
    (System File Checker is a handy tool included with Windows that allows you scan for and restore corruptions in Windows system files (including those related to svchost.exe). If System File Checker finds a problem with EXE file or other critical system files, it will attempt to replace the problematic files. )
    Starting the Windows File Checker - Win10)
    Click the Start button.
    Enter "command" in the search field ... DO NOT PRESS ENTER again!
    While holding down the CTRL + Shift keys on your keyboard, press ENTER.
    A dialog for permission will be displayed.
    Click Yes.
    A black window will open with a flashing cursor.
    Enter  sfc /scannow and press ENTER.
    System File Checker will begin scanning for svchost.exe and other system file problems (be patient - the system scan may take a while).
    Follow the instructions on the screen.

    Did you try to reinstall graphics drivers also? You installed new drivers on April 28. Maybe something went wrong with this installation?
    Maybe it's just a convergence of dates, but if just at the end of April this problem appeared, maybe it's worth trying.
