Windows 10: My HP 8GB Laptop is Hanging a lot!!

I downloaded and installed VLC Media Player the day before yesterday, and from Yesterday my PC is hanging a lot...

I saw crosses in a black background in the apps icon rather than their original icons...

After using my Laptop for 4 or 5 hours I shutdown it and it was pretty fast.

After 2 or 3 hours I again started it and Boot took time longer than original...


There was a black screen in which I can move the cursor but I couldn't see anything, after 2 mins. I saw the normal login screen but its response was pretty slow and my login time was also slow which took a minute or two.


After this I again saw a black screen with nothing on it... and after 2 mins I was able to see my desktop.

The response time to open any application was very slow, even start would open after 1 minute.

I also ran a DISM/Online/Cleanup-Image/RestoreHealth command but it stopped after 22%.

With this type of hanging I restarted my PC in hope of things getting better but it was worse...

My PC hanged even more, so I was forced to move into Safe mode.


Even Safe mode was slow and unresponsive for some time...

I then ran Windows defender to check for any viruses but even its quick scan was very slow.

I then googled it and found that I should run a SFC/Scannow from Command Prompt. But it showed some errors due to which I again Googled the problem and I found out to type the command chkdsk /r which told me that the drive has been used so Should I use this command after reboot...

Unfortunately, I typed Y and restarted my Laptop.

I saw the operation started and which took 12 hours stuck at 11% and so I was forced to do a Hard Shutdown.


I again started my Laptop after half an hour but my PC was again Hanging a lot... I managed to view reliability history and found out that before rebooting to safe reboot A program called DllHost.exe stopped working.

I tried checking Event Viewer but it was also not working at all.

I checked Task manager for any High CPU USAGE but there wasn't any though my Disk was used at 100% all the time. It also didn't respond after some time due to which a pop up came to close the program.

After that there was a pop up from microsoft windows that the program was not working, so I clicked close the program. Then the screen was black again, I waited for 20 mins but the screen remained black and I was unable to use the cursor or keyboard also.

so I again had to Hard shutdown...


Now I again started my PC and there was again a black screen before login but my lock screen appeared faster than before... after login My all Desktop Icons were nowhere to be seen and after 5 minutes they reappeared.

My Laptop is Hanging but it is very less as compared to the hanging that happened yesterday.

Was there any Virus Problem? or any File is corrupted?

Please help me!!!

Cortana hangs on setting up a new HP 15t Laptop

I just received my HP 15t Laptop today and was following the Cortana setup screens. I got the latest updates, connected to my WiFi and created a PIN. When it came time to set up One Drive, Cortana hangs up. It will not proceed to the next step. I
have powered down and restarted the set up process, but regardless if I choose One Drive, or store to my local drive - Cortana hangs.

I can do NOTHING until this is resolved. I can't escape or ctrl-alt-delete out of Cortana, so my new laptop is completely non functional.

Suggestions?

HP Desktop is a lot slower than usual...

My HP Desktop has been a lot slower than it usually is. I don't know if it has to do with the latest update or patches or what it is. But when I first wake it up and enter my password to unlock it, it's slow clicking on the lock screen to enter the PIN code. Once I am in, the Start Menu freezes up or hangs. Then, it's okay after that.

Any suggestions?

My hp laptop wont turn on

This is a frequent problem am sure as you have already seen from online searches.

Flea power is usually the culprit here, basically its residual power that remains on the computer even after thecomputer has been shutdown. You can drain the flea power with the steps the other answers have suggested.

• Disconnecting the battery and adapter
• Press the hardpress the power button for 30 seconds
• This should clear the flea power

If this doesnt work, read this article its about
a dell inspiron but the same applies for you hp. It has some detailed step by step instructions
