Windows 10: my windows 11 system freezes for a few minutes then comes back to life how can I repair this?

This usually happens when I am online, it can be frozen for several minutes and happens regularly

:)

 

Try to repair xp, but freeze

I have a major problemo, I have a system file missing and Xp is directing me to repair. I put the cd in, and try to use either of the two repair functions that are available from the cd, and everytime the window freezes.

 

Windows 7 freezes for 1 minute

My custom built rig has lately, in the past 2 months or so, been having these spits of freezing. It will freeze for exactly 1 minute: always 1 minute, every time. I can time it down to the second.

The weird thing is that when it freezes, some programs seem to be immune to it. When playing a full screen game, video and audio will freeze (though not always at the same time, sometimes one or the other will lag). Playing a 3D game in windowed mode seems to be immune to it however. Windows explorer and Firefox always seems to freeze, but Windows Messenger (including video call) will work as normal even while everything else is frozen. After a minute has passed, everything is back to normal. It happens at irregular intervals: sometimes it will happen then happen again 30 seconds later, and sometimes I can go hours without the problem.

It's a bit bizarre and I'm not sure what is causing it. The fact that it is always exactly 1 minute makes me think it's some dumb program checking for an update or something, but I can't pin it down.

Any ideas appreciated.

 

System repair disk DVD's that I created on Windows 11 PC's will not boot.

You would have to create a system image disk in Windows 11 and then attempt to make it bootable by using something like Image Burn.

I agree that this is not a very elegant solution. The fact that the system image disk is no longer bootable in Windows 11 severely decreases its usefulness.

Luckily, the Windows 11 iso downloadable from Microsoft is bootable and also contains repair tools.

The steps below are for installing an image you previously made. These steps work with DVD disks but it should work with a USB thumb drive as well.

1. Place the Windows 11 iso Operating System Disc that you downloaded from Microsoft in a DVD drive.
   
2. Boot and continuously tap the key till that will bring up the boot selection menu. For Asus motherboards, this is F8. When the ‘Please select boot drive’ screen comes up, select the UEFI entry with the DVD drive that contains your Operating System Disc. Press Enter.
   
3. When ‘Press any key to boot from CD or DVD’ comes up, press Enter. The Windows logo will appear.
   
4. When the ‘Install Now’ dialog box appears, click the ‘Repair Your Computer’ link in the bottom left hand corner.
   
5. Choose Troubleshoot>System Image Recovery>Windows 11.
   
6. When the message ‘Windows cannot find a system image on this computer’ comes up, place the last system image disc in your DVD drive and close the drive.
   
7. Click ‘Retry’.
   
8. Your computer will now search for an image. When it has found it, click ‘Next’.
   

At ‘Choose Additional Restore Options’ do not check ‘Format and repartition discs’. Click ‘Next’.

9. At ‘Reimage your computer’ click ‘Finish’.

10. Follow the screen instructions and insert the other system image discs as requested until the system desktop comes up.

The program will offer to burn a system repair disc. As mentioned above, the Windows 11 System Repair Disc is no longer bootable without alterations so do like Nancy said and just say no.

I hope this helps.
