Windows 10: Win10 occasionally fails to restart

Good day My windows version number is 21H1 (OS Build 19043.1081) On a few occasions (i'd say once or twice a week) win10 fails to restart properly and it just hangs indefinately whereby i have to force restart. I'm unsure what causes it and since it only happens a few times it isnt a major worry, however i would like to know what causes it. What usually happens when i know it will definately happen is when i run a game and in this instance it happens when i run a game through Ubisoft Connect and what happens is the games splash screen is stuck. Closing the program helps but when i try to restart my computer then it also hangs on the restart screen. I don't know if its the app itself or something else at work but is there anything i can do or check to see what causes the issue? Thank you.

:)

 

Windows 10 fails to update


When you finish testing the Avast suggestion, make sure that you restart your machine.

Then if the issue persists, please return to the trouble shooting list in post# 89

I think there are three steps that remain; the WU troubleshooter, reset WU components, and manual WU reset.

 

Windows 10 occasionally fails to login after screen lock

Occasionally (meaning, not always), after screen lock, login will fail on my Windows 10 desktop. I've tried looking online for possible solutions, but I find more topics about not being able to get to the login screen at all.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Lock screen
   
2. Press key/click to access login prompt
   
3. Enter anything for login information (either right or wrong password)
   
4. Wait some amount of time (>10s) with a spinner
   
5. Screen returns to lock
   

Reproduction rate: Very low, but once it occurs, it will continue to happen until restart.

Occasionally, I will also see a black screen with a cursor for a very short time after attempting unlock.

I'm not running any modifications to my lock screen. The amount of time locked doesn't seem to matter (it's happened within as little as 10min). So far, it only seems to happen after my computer has been on for a long time (weeks). The computer isn't frozen, since I can still attempt logins (and my applications and network connections are still open underneath, as verified from the network and other computers' clients). Unfortunately, it's Win10 home, so I can't attempt a remote desktop connection.

Not sure where to start looking for possible solutions to this problem, since I get so many results for other login screen issues.
