Windows 10: Windows 10 freezing on wakeup

So, I've had my Windows 10 desktop for a few years, but ever since I replaced almost every part in it a year ago, I've been having continual problems popping up. Recently, upon doing a repair install for my computer, almost all of the problems I was having at the time were fixed. However, over the past week it's been freezing consistently upon waking up from sleeping. Doesn't matter if the sleep timer goes off after a period of inactivity or if I press 'sleep' from the start menu, every single time it wakes up, the computer completely freezes maybe 10 seconds later. The only way I have of fixing it is to do a hard restart, which has the tendency to screw up my Logitech mouse & keyboard settings, as well as a few other applications' settings. The computer runs perfectly fine after it's been restarted, but even when I try restarting it from the login menu as SOON as the computer's woken up, it freezes during the process until I manually turn the computer off & back on with the power button.


I have had this issue in the past, at random, where the computer will freeze and I have to hard restart it, but it's never happened to me on such a consistent basis. In the past, it's a problem I've run into maybe once or twice a month, rather than every time I let it go to sleep. How can I fix this? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, and I can post my specs if need be.

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
