Windows 10: hard freeze, nothing obvious in event viewer.

My computer just froze, audio stopped, and needed to be shut down manually to reboot. This has occurred once on my brand new computer running Windows 11 as well as multiple times on my previous computer running Windows 10, hence why I bought a new computer. Sometimes the the video output would drop and sometimes it would just freeze on the screen, the one occurrence on my new computer was among the later. I looked through the error logs to try and find out what was causing it but the only major errors I could find were ones pertaining to shutting down the computer incorrectly.https://1drv.ms/u

Event viewer

I suggest you re-install the video driver. I'll add a few words of explanation about Event viewer in a moment. They won't affect the need to reinstall that driver as your first step. Denis

Event Viewer freezes

Hi,

After upgrade from 1909 to 2004 and after displaying properties of a single event the event viewer freezes.

I can use the up/down arrows while an event property is open but as soon as I close the event property

there is no way to select anything within the event viewer anymore - Have to kill mmc via task manager and

re-open eventvwr again. Same happens with task scheduler but not with services!

Funny enough if I use an other user account on this machine then there is no problem at all.

SFC /SCANNOW did not report any error

Any hint most welcome - thanks

Viktor
