    Freezing up


    Several months ago I installed Windows 11 on my Windows 10 computer. Up until now no problems, but yesterday the computer started freezing up randomly. The only thing I can do is turn it off and on again; nothing works, not ctl-alt-del or the cursor or esc. I scanned for viruses but none were found. What should I do?

    :)

    Screen Freezing up

    Andre, thanks for your suggestions. I performed all steps as you listed and it appears that there were

    some problems that have been corrected. I will let you know in a day or so if the "freeze" problem

    occurs again. Many thanks for your help --- this took longer than I expected!
