Hi guys, my pc started to act very weirdly recently. When i start the pc it acts normaly but when i try to move any files from folder to folder it just gets stuck on calculating. I cant even cancel the task and cant launch the task manager. When i try to factory reset the pc, i can click it but nothing happens. I cant even open most of programs. Yeah and i cant do much with Windows defender too. If anyone can help me with this, im gonna be very thankful. I dont need a pc that cant even copy files you know.

No restart button in task manager

another easy way to kill tasks, download and install Winaero Tweaker(free) and theres a setting to add a Kill non responding tasks using the desktop right click menu. When you place your cursor on the desktop anywhere and right click the option is at the top of the list, Very handy and you dont have to go through all those steps and well Winaero Tweaker has alot of cool Windows tweaks. Just posting a different suggestion, Im sure your ok with what was suggested here.
