Windows 10: Restarting computer makes the window programs unresponsive upon reaching the desktop

If the pc is already running then I restart the computer, the next time I reach the desktop, no programs function anymore not even shutdown, restart. I can't open any programs/app AFTER 10-15s upon reaching the desktop. During that 10-15s period I can open any program fine, which why I can do a system restore to "fix" this problem HOWEVER problem will eventually occur, which did occur, when I have to run the windows update which would require me to restart the pc. This bug became severe when I have to update through windows update. Before, if the computer was shut down then opened again, its

Dialog boxes making programs unresponsive

Hi,

Thank you for using Windows 10.

I would suggest you to follow the steps and see if that helps:

• Open the Task manager. Here’s a tip: Press CTRL+Shift+ESC.
• Click File > Run New Task
• Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges”
  
• Type CMD
• Type the following 4 commands at the CMD prompt:
  
  dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
  
  sfc /scannow
  
  powershell
  
  Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
  
• Close the CMD window

Check to see if the issue is resolved. If not, restart the PC.

Keep us posted on the status of the issue and we’ll be glad to help.

 

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.
