Windows 10: Opening certain things on my browser causing my computer to freeze + taskbar to change and...

I tried to open a tab on my browser which caused my computer to freeze, the screen turned black, and the taskbar turned black/darker and more transparent. I'm not sure what the issue is and I've had this issue before but I can't remember how to fix it. I've tried to do the "MSCONFIG" trick and the sf\scannow won't work. I've cleared a lot of my storage + my recycling bin, please someone help!

Certain icons in taskbar won't open

Hello Cindy,

To help us identify the cause of the issue, we'd like to clarify the following information:

• Did you make any changes to your computer's configuration prior to the issue?
• Have you tried using a different mouse?
• Does this issue only persists with the Taskbar icons?

In the mean time, let's run System File Checker scan and DISM commands. System File Checker is a Windows utility that allow users to scan for and restore corruptions

in Windows system files. Follow these steps for instructions:

• Open Command Prompt (Admin).
• Type this sfc /scannow and hit Enter.

If SFC did not find any violations, it's still a good idea to run DISM Restorehealth. For instructions, please follow these steps:

• Open Command Prompt (Admin).
• Type this Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth and hit
  Enter.

Looking forward to your response.

 

Computer freezes after random Applications open

Hi,

Did you make any changes to the computer prior to the issue?

The first thing to get the issue fixed would be to perform a System Maintenance troubleshooter and then check if the computer freezes after the applications are opened.

Please follow the steps to run System Maintenance troubleshooter on the computer:

• 
  Type “Control Panel” on the search box.
  
• 
  Click on Troubleshooting.
  
• 
  Click on View all option on the left side of the Windows.
  
• 
  Click on System Maintenance option.
  
• 
  Click on Next and follow the onscreen instructions to troubleshoot the issue.
  

Please revert if the issue happens with the freezing of the computer.
