Windows 10: Computer not responding correctly

I have a new computer I assembled and I've been getting a persistent if random problem, occasionally something goes wrong and the computer sort of half-freezes. I can still open task manager for example, videos will continue playing for a while but get more and more choppy and things will seem ok. However, when I try to close a program down or close task manager for example, the icon remains at the bottom of the screen slightly greyed out. Various buttons just stop responding and the computer gets stuck in a half-responsive state where some things appear to continue to work and others don't.

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 Best regards.


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