    Programs unresponsive to commands and auto closing


    Ok... I need some serious help.

    I have a Lenovo ideapad that is about 5 years old. Recently it has had issues coming back on properly after being asleep which has resulted in many forced shut downs.

    Today, after a windows update, Firefox kept crashing, and practically all of my Windows programs would not respond at all or open and then shut down. Cannot even access or transfer my personal files to my phone, cannot run msconfig, cannot access manager to check drivers, etc...

    Tried everything I could find online and that I know to do and am having no luck. Could someone help me out? I have tried pretty much anything the system will let me do. There were some corrupt files that could be fixed and some that could not. I am at a loss.

    :)

    Programs become unresponsive in Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thanks for the suggestions. I tried both with different results.

    Step 1: Safe Mode:

    This seemed to work and I could save a file in Word without the program becoming "Unresponsive".

    Step 2: Clean Boot:

    This did not work and Word would become unresponsive when trying to save a file.

    I did notice another odd thing. It seems that sometimes (not often) Word would work the first time I used it If I close it and reopened it the unresponsive behavior returned. I tried opening Word several time but it remained unresponsive.

    This is very frustrating as I use Word daily.

    Programs not working


    In post 26 there were steps listed to fix the operating system corruption.
    Are you able to follow them?
    In post 29 was the suggested dism repair command.

    GPU-Z what command line parameter ?

    Suggestion: /? (-?) and /help (-help) command-line arguments to show a list of all possible arguments in a small window. *Smile Programs unresponsive to commands and auto closing :)
