    Dell Running Windows 10 Intermittently Freezing-Unfreezing

    Hey all,

    I’ve searched this forum & have spent endless hours on Google, but have yet to find anyone with this same problem.

    I have a...

    Dell Inspiron 5000 Series

    System Model: Inspiron 5565

    System Type: 64 bit

    that is running...

    Windows 10 Home

    Version 10.0.18363 (Build 18363)

    While using this laptop, the whole thing will freeze/lock-up - I’m unable to move the mouse, if I’m typing, the cursor will freeze, ads on pages will freeze...everything comes to a stop. About 45 seconds later, everything will unfreeze/unlock and I’m good
    to go again. But 15-45 minutes later, it happens again. This is a reoccurring issue. I’m a full-time online student & this is REALLY starting to drive me bonkers!

    If it’s needed, I can try to post a list of what troubleshooting methods I’ve tried so far. I’ve tried so many things & most would be difficult for me to recall. Mostly on account of those methods being different things I found online & were not pulled from
    existing knowledge &/or skillset. But I can sure try to put together a list if it would help!

    I’m hoping this is a familiar issue to someone out there. Any help or advice would be unmeasurably appreciated. My sanity is at stake here!

    Intermittent Freezing linked to Cursor movement

    Hi,

    The cursor on my laptop freezes every few seconds when I move it. This happens with both my bluetooth mouse and my inbuilt touchpad. I know the laptop is freezing and not just the cursor because if I run an app with a progress bar it also freezes at the same time as the cursor. The freezing only seems to happen when I move the cursor.

    The freezing is just momentary (like it pauses for a second and then goes on as normal). I do not have to do anything to get it to unfreeze.

    I have tried re-installing the drivers for mouse and touch pad.

    I have defragged and cleaned up the HD.

    I have tried doing a system restore but just get an error (I only have 1 restore point because I stupidly deleted them to create space I didnt need in case it was a space issue).

    Any suggestions would be welcome.

    Thanks

    Windows 10 Manual Updates Management

    I have just installed windows 10. When windows 10 is updating (and only when its updating) there is a chance the system will randomly hang/freeze.

    This is very annoying and happens often but, only when updating.

    In an attempt to avoid this problem, I have decided to manually download and install updates.

    To do so, I have to do the following.

    1. Disable Windows 10 automatic updates.
    2. While windows 10 updates are disabled find and list all the required updates (preferable with a dependency tree of some kind)
    3. Download the required updates manually.
    4. Install the required updates manually.

    I was able to figure out the steps (1) and (3) (and I'm guessing step (4) is a simple execution)

    How should I go about achieving step (2)?
