  1. Files not responding


    I use Windows 10.


    I have an issue where different files in Word or excel or chrome keeps freezing and it shows not responding again and again.


    What can be the issue here? It happens even offline. It takes a lot of time to start working again. It freezes at random and shows not responding.


    Also, the start button never works on time. It takes a lot of clicks to show up.

    :)

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.


    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Files not responding :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
