    All Microsoft software stops working at least once a day, but other software keeps running OK

    Once or twice a day, all Microsoft products on my PC completely freeze. Often, it starts with File Explorer freezing. After that, if I’m in Office software, they freeze and I can’t close them. If I’m not in Office software, I can’t open them. Task Manager
    can’t close anything. Sometimes my desktop and taskbar completely disappear.

    However, non-Microsoft software is fine. If I have Chrome or Firefox already open, I can continue using them and I can close them normally. The same is true for The Bat Voyager email, which I run from a USB flash drive.

    I built the computer myself two years ago (I’ve been building my own computers and servers for 23 years). It has had no problems with Win 7. It has the following configuration:

    • Win 10 Pro on primary boot SSD
    • Win 7 Pro on secondary boot SSD
    • MSI Z87 GD65 motherboard
    • i7-4770 CPU
    • 32GB Crucial Ballistix RAM
    • MSI GTX 970 GPU
    • Several external eSATA and USB drives
    • Kaspersky Internet Security
    • Office 365
    • Adobe CC
    • lots of other software
    I have no problems with Win 7, but I have this problem at least once a day on Win 10. I use the computer in my business and am on it all day, so this is a major problem for me.

    Steps I’ve taken:

    • All Windows updates are current
    • Motherboard BIOS, drivers, and utilities are current
    • Device Manager shows all drivers are current
    • sfc/scannow reports no problems
    One clue: when rebooting after a problem, Windows runs CHKDSK on many of the drives (there are 11 drives and partitions) and usually reports a non-existent drive each time after a failure.

    Does anyone have suggestions? If this continues, I will have to go back to Win 7 permanently.

    Computer freezes

    So i do use my computer to perform some pretty heavy tasks at times, and it has no problems with it. However, in the last few days ive been using paint.NET. A really simple software in which all you do is edit images and save them. So i just start to edit
    an image, copy and paste a few other to go on top and suddenly a simple click and the computer freezes 100%. By that i mean to the point where even the power button doesnt do anything, and my only option is to cut its power off from the socket which is not
    ideal. I doubt it is related to the software itself, although i could be wrong. In the same hour it froze twice, at the same steps in paint.NET

    Video Editing Software

    I'm gonna step out here and say that free suggestions, for a christmas gift, are not a good idea. OP wants to buy the kid as gift, not pawn off a free alternative he could do any day.


    Please feel free to correct me if wrong, Asylum.


    Oh, and Sony Vegas offers multi-stream editing, so say you have 3 camera angles, you can load them all up, and very easily switch between stream, while retaining audio from only one, or from all comeras...pretty good software, iMHO.
