I have windows 11. Task bar does not load. Updates do not load. What is wrong? I have been struggling for several hours. Can you fix it?

task bar and apps not loading

Windows 10 upgraded without any problems and then ran wonderfully. Then this morning, my machine would not load the task bar and apps. I re-started it and the desktop loaded but the machine stalled at loading the task bar again. It spins for a while, goes
to black, loads the desktop, stalls at the task bar, goes to black, loads desktop, stalls at task bar... over and over.

 

systool read wrong cpu load

Ever since I did a volt mod to my motherboard (ASrock dual-sata2) systool reads a continuous 100% load. Windows task manager reads a sensible variable load as expected.

Why is this and can I correct it somehow?





All suggestions appreciated *Toast :toast:

 

geforce experience takes an age to load..

Well that's why I asked. Mine is on SSD and takes 11 seconds. Your list of games will not appear if it has not checkd for updated suggested settings for awhile until it checks.

When it says it is refreshing the game list, it is checking, because NVIDIA periodically updates suggested settings. Plus it will look for those for new games you have installed.

So, the less it is run, the slower it will be.
