Programs become unresponsive in Windows 10

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried both with different results.

Step 1: Safe Mode:

This seemed to work and I could save a file in Word without the program becoming "Unresponsive".

Step 2: Clean Boot:

This did not work and Word would become unresponsive when trying to save a file.

I did notice another odd thing. It seems that sometimes (not often) Word would work the first time I used it If I close it and reopened it the unresponsive behavior returned. I tried opening Word several time but it remained unresponsive.

This is very frustrating as I use Word daily.

 

Family Account Sign in is Unresponsive

I recently replaced my older desktop pc with a new model with Windows 11 Home installed. I went through the setup process and established my MS Account as an Administrator. A lot of my Microsoft information and settings were automatically synced. I went through and installed many of the programs and apps I previously used. I then added my wife's account who is already a family member.

Her account email address shows up in the list of logins to choose from. However, when we click on the "Sign in" for the account, nothing happens. We wait for a while and then the PC goes to sleep. We click to wake it up and click on the start page to bring up the sign-in screen. Windows is still unresponsive when clicking her sign-in.

I have removed her from the family, deleted the PC account, re-added her to the Family, and added her to the PC. Her sign in is still totally unresponsive

 

Adding programs to "open with" menu?

Hi TK, I am Paulo and I'd like to help.

You should be able to add a program in Open With if you're able to open the file with that app. Here are the steps:

- Right-click on any .stl file

- Hover on Open with > Choose another app

- Once the list of apps opens, scroll down and click More apps

- Scroll down again then click Look for another app on this PC

- Locate and choose the program

- Once the file has been opened by the app, close it and check if the app is now on the Open with list

- To locate the program, it would be easier to right-click on the app in the Start menu > More > Open file location.

- Once the File Explorer opens the list of Start menu programs, right-click on the shortcut of the app then click on 'Open file location' once again.
