    Desktop not responding and icons cannot be targeted


    Windows 11 Pro all drivers updated, windows updated. Sometimes my main monitor the desktop is not responsive. Right click doesn't do anything and clicking any of the icons doesn't do anything. But my secondary monitor I can right click on it. The main monitor will start responding after a minute or two or after I click something on the taskbar it will make the desktop responsive after about 10 seconds. If I open something from the taskbar it works fine even though the desktop underneath is still not responsive for a few seconds. Then it works fine.I also have a problem that when my computer go
