Windows 10: Windows 10 freezes when I try to sign back in after locking it

I have been having difficulty with Windows freezing, mainly when I try to return after locking Windows, but also sometimes simply when I turn the computer on.


I hope below is sufficient information for anyone who could point me to some possible fixes.


Thank you.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
