Fusion 360 freezes my computer, updating drivers doesn't help

Hello... Please help! I have the student version of Fusion360 and I have closed it normally and then when I wanted to launch it again, my computer froze. I presumed that this was after a Windows update so I tried looking into it and found this:

Edit: C:\windows\system32  doesn't contain nwiz.exe on my PC, so I guess I dont have the nView Desktop thingy mentioned in the tutorial.

I have updated the drivers of my card to the newest version, but it didn't help at all.

When my computer freezes, I can still see the cursor and I can even move it, but I cannot click anything and the system doesn't react to ctrl+alt+del; after 30 minutes, it was still in this state, forcing me to reboot. 
Can you please help me? Thank you very much!

Attached are the log files, but I don't believe them to be very helpful. The problems started on 1.9. 

OS: Win7 64 bit
gfx card: 1060 gtx 3gb
gfx driver version: 399.07

ram: 16gb

cpu: i5-750 quad core

HDD space: 4gb on C, 1 gb on F, 26 gb on G, 146 gb on H, 46gb on I, 831gb on K, 365gb on L, 221gb on M, 1.27gb on N.

Okay, so I have moved the appdata/roaming/Autodesk/Autodesk Fusion 360 directory and also the appdata/local/Autodesk/Autodesk Fusion 360 directory and rerun it. Fusion360 crashed, but the computer "survived" and didn't crash. I have tried running it once more and it launched normally (well, it's taking about 5 minutes to launch, but that has always been the case). I have not yet confirmed the stability.

I have just recently realized that I actually recently had a problem when waking up my PC from sleep mode - the part of Fusion360 where grid and 3D stuff is normally placed was blank. I have tried forcing redraw by adjusting the "visual style" and "Environment" settings under "Display settings" on the bottom of the screen. Apparently, this then caused the unstable behavior, presumably due to some conflict with my nVidia drivers.
