Windows 10: Why is my desktop and system tray unresponsive after computer has been idle for 20 minutes,...

Hello all. This started about a month ago. Just over night, if I'm browsing with Edge, after about 20 minutes, the system tray and desktop no longer responsive as if it was just a photo. The browser still works but nothing else, cannot even turn the power off. I have to hit ctrl/alt/del and in about 5 seconds, I regain control. I don't have to do anything else but hit ctrl/alt/del to get it back, no reboot, no task manger, just hitting those keys brings it back for another 20 minutes. I have no weird power saver settings or time out that would do this or any other weirs stuff I can find. It is

desktop agent tray error message in windows 10

I tried the following suggestion. When I got to step 4, the list provided no checkmarks to uncheck and the icon for Desktop Agent Tray was a checkmark in a yellow circle. nothing happened when I clicked on the yellow circle with the checkmark. the title
on the list was Desktop Agent Tray(2) Clicking on the title opened a title beneath the Desktop Agent Tray (2) which did not have the (2)

the publisher of both titles was CenturyLink Inc and the status for the entry with the (2) was enabled and the status of the other entry was blank. Changing the status to disabled did nothing. the Start up impact was listed as high. There was another
entry under the two Desktop Agent Tray titles There was an icon then Dw20 with a high start up impact. No where was there a place to uncheck or delete. So far the box which lists the error disappears and there seems to be no problem. I just wonder why
it is there,



Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Appreciate your interest in using Windows 10.

Desktop Tray Agent is a program used by Qwest to update their installer when setting up DSL (Digital Subscribers Line) based connections to computers. I suggest you to follow the steps below and check for the status:

• Press Windows key + R, type msconfig.
• Go to Startup tab.
• Click on Open Task Manager.
• Uncheck Desktop Agent Tray from the list.
• Click on Apply and OK.

Windows 10 Unresponsive After Being Idle - Cannot See Desktop Icons


Windows 10 Unresponsive After Being Idle Cannot See Desktop Icons. Mouse not working. I have tried Startup Repair, usually by using the "Boot to Advanced Startup Options from a Hard Reboot," since it is the only way I can get my PC to respond.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you.
