It is likely that the NVIDIA drivers will need to be updated to the latest version as the drivers shipped with the computers are usually outdated.
Windows 10 includes a Quick Edit mode option in the DOS window that can artificially pause TUFLOW simulations. The Quick edit mode is initiated if the curser clicks somewhere on the DOS window while a TUFLOW simulation is running. Quick Edit mode can be deactivated to avoid this issue.
