    Can't interact with thing on my pc?


    My pc won't let me click on anything in my Taskbar and when I start my pc I can only click desktop shortcuts. Like I can't interact with any apps I open either unless I cycle through choices using tab. The only thing I can interact with is like video games and even then sometimes they don't work. When I restart it it doesn't fix anything, it's not a mouse problem, and I even hard reset my pc and nothing works can anyone help.

    :)

    Cant interact with certain things

    I have a gateway pc, model gwtc116-2bl, however whenever i try to open something it allows me but i cant seem to interact with it, only with the background. Sometimes its the other way around, im in the program but wont let me interact with anything else going in the background or another program, like im stuck in that program, and cant do simple things such as turning the pc off. Also noticed that the cpu reaches 100 percent, even by opening the task manager right after i just turned it on. Why is this happening?

  3. Pc randomly restarts

    Where are the results for the steps I asked you to post back, so I'd know what else to suggest.

    Please go back to the top of the list and report back detailed results for each step.

    This is a known issue with known fixes. If you will work with me interactively it will usually be resolved quickly. However This is an interactive process. I give steps to perform, you do each one and then report back results until something works, so I know what to suggest next. If you need help performing any step, just ask back. But please do not skip any steps. We often find out the skipped step is the fix.

    Troubleshooting Crackling and Popping Audio Issues on PC (Windows Interaction Only)

    Hello,

    For the past few days, I've been trying to fix persistent audio issues where I constantly hear popping and crackling sounds whenever I interact with Windows. This issue occurs, for example, when pausing or unpausing a video, or when a Windows notification plays. However, I've noticed that the problem only arises when interacting with Windows. There is no crackling or popping when playing video games or using applications like Spotify.

    Here are the steps I've already tried to resolve the issue:

    • Completely reinstalled Windows multiple times
    • Removed and reinstalled drivers (video, audio, etc.)
    • Changed power settings
    • Tried different headsets (the issue persists regardless of the hardware but doesn't occur when connected to a different PC)
    • Tried multiple audio jacks and USB ports
    • Updated BIOS
    • Tried sfc /scannow / DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
    • Changed audio format
    • Disabled any enhancements

    Despite these efforts, the crackling and popping audio persist, but only when interacting with Windows, not in games or other applications (For Example Spotify) but it still occurs when for example pausing video in browser etc.. . If anyone has further suggestions or solutions, I'd greatly appreciate it.
