If it lasts the week, I'll consider it a true fix and will post back here. Is it fixed? Seems to be but time will tell. I'm swinging it forward and back full tilt now and nothing. I rebooted and have not had it freeze since, even though in the past whenever I would move the screen (open or close it even a tiny bit), it would freeze.

Seeing it didn't work, I rebooted, realizing the driver was updated but obviously not loaded until rebooted (duh). I then moved the screen again to test it, and it froze again - just like the previous 7-10 freezes I'd just endured in the past 30 minutes, which always required a hard reboot by holding down the power button.

So, I let it update over the web and it completed in about 20 seconds. There was an update available, which is unusual, as I don't think I've ever had it find an update through the device manager. Instead, before disabling it, I right-clicked to see if there was a driver update (for the Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter driver under Network Devices). I read in this thread that disabling the wifi adapter seemed to keep it from freezing so as weird as it sounded, I went into the device manager to try disabling it. Apparently there's a sensor in the hinge. It's only the last month that I discerned it would freeze when the screen was moved. I've had this Yoga 3 Pro freezing problem for about 6 months.
