  1. Desktop contents frozen


    I've encountered a recent problem: after browsing for a while, when I return to refresh a page, the left click stops responding. Additionally, when i try to double-click desktop files they dont open. Interestingly, the mouse functions properly when interacting with the taskbar.

    :)

    A frozen Desktop with weird interactions

    Perhaps your Desktop is not 'frozen' but merely failing to automatically Refresh. I suggest that you right-click on the Desktop & select Refresh [or press the F5 key]. Your problem might be more involved than that but might not. Denis

    Frozen desktop

    We have a Dell Alienware desktop that is frozen and unresponsive. We tried all the simple solutions from the internet up to resetting to a save point a week earlier which worked for about 5 minutes. Are there any suggestions before we get to reinstalling
    Windows? Thank you

    Frozen before desktop


    My 2 year old computer did a windows 10 update overnight and I woke up to a frozen computer. It is stuck right before the desktop. I cannot do anything. I've pressed the normal buttons one would press and Nada.
    Rebooted by way of the power button. Boots to the same screen before the desktop and freezes. I cannot get into startmenu to get to safe mode.
    Any suggestions? F8 and F11 are not working.
