Windows 10: Unknown freezes

I've only noticed this issue within the last month, although I'm not certain how long it's been affecting my devices. I keep getting random 2-10 second freezes every 2-5 minutes and I can't figure out why.


These are the things I've looked out for and tried fixing:

WiFi - I've tried using an ethernet cable and 3 different networks but this problem still persists.

Device - I've been experiencing this issue on both my laptop and my PC.

I've had expanded task manager open while the freezes happen and nothing gets above around 80% usage disk, memory, CPU, or network

I've tried closing everything except one application discord and the freezes still occur.


If there's anything out that I could try, or if anyone else has had a similar issue, I could really use some help trying to fix this.

Screen Freezing up

Andre, thanks for your suggestions. I performed all steps as you listed and it appears that there were

some problems that have been corrected. I will let you know in a day or so if the "freeze" problem

occurs again. Many thanks for your help --- this took longer than I expected!
