    Hello, I have an HP, AIO Desktop, My computer runs 24/7. I count on it in everything I do, but lately it has started rash of programs not responding, and the screen fades or fogs, and I have to cut power to it to get control of it again. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank You All! *Peace*

    :)

    Windows Folders Randomly Freezing and Not Responding

    Once in a while, some of my windows folders, irrespective of the number of files and their size randomly freezes, then shows not responding and shuts down.

    When i try and open them again they do the same. over and over.

    the only solutions I have found to overcome this is.

    1. Restart the System.
    2. Remove a few items from the folder.
    3. Change the Sort by/Group by Format of the folder.

    Can anyone suggest what may be the source of the problem; and any solutions ?

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Programs freeze, and fail to respond, :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
