Windows 10: Windows 10 gets frozen every hour or so. I have to restart to get the system running. Is it...

Hi,


I just bought a new laptop. I bought it for machine learning purpose, so I have highly powerful specs. My RAM is 32 GB, 1 TB SSD, and i-5 Quad-Core processor. The company brand is MSI, one of the recommended brands for heavy purpose usage. However, this laptop freezes every hour or so even when browsing or watching YouTube Videos. I have used laptops/computers with weaker specifications, and I had no problems like this. If I force restart it, I get things normal. I have been doing it 5 or 6 times every day, so it is not a one-off thing. I updated the drivers that came up with the laptop. I also updated every Windows updated. Still, I have the same problem. Is it a hardware issue or a software issue? Kindly let me know. If there is a hardware issue, I will return the laptop and get a new brand. Thank you.

:)

 

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

Windows system restore - taking 2 hours plus ?

Tried a system restore on 2 occasions today.

First session ran for over 2hrs with the screen saying "Please wait while etc etc".

Read that if runs more than an hour it may be frozen and suggests a hard reset of the device.

The second session is doing the same restoring for 2 hours plus.

Is this expected or an error/fault somewhere on the system causing it run more than an hour etc.
