Windows 10: Random Hanging - New Windows 10

Hi,


I've been holding off on posting to see if I can diagnose this myself, but have had no luck.


I've been having issues with random hanging working away and then suddenly the mouse freezes and the computer is frozen and I have to restart the computer. I thought it may be connected with a specific software, but it doesn't look like it is.


Sometimes it'll have 10 times in a row, others, it'll happen once in a day and not again.

I don't know whether to start upgrading RAM or to start uninstalling all my software! I'm at a loss!


Computer Info -

Processor: AMD FX-9590 - 4.7GHz

RAM: 16 GB

System type: 64-bit Operating System

Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 960

If more information is needed, please let me know.


I miss Win 7 :

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Windows 10 random freeze

Hi,

Did you make any changes recently to the computer which may have led to random freeze?

Random hangs are often due to damage to the Windows configuration, faulty hardware, or malware. However, because this behavior is random, it can be especially difficult to identify the proper cause.

Random hangs can also be caused by other faulty hardware. Consult with your PC manufacturer to run available hardware diagnostics. This could include:

• PC diagnostics that test the integrity of the core PC devices, such as the processor fans and cooling system
• Video and display diagnostics
• Additional hard drive diagnostics

I would request you to perform SFC scan(if you have not tried it) and then check if it helps.

System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to
scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

To know about SFC and to perform a SFC Scan, please refer to the below link:

Note: Steps mentioned for Windows 8/8.1, will work fine with Windows 10.

Please revert if you still face the random hang.

Thank you.
