    Windows 10 PC freezes when using an app, mouse still moves but can't click any other apps


    Hi,I've been having this problem the last couple weeks where my PC freezes while using an app full screen and usually while it is idle on that one app. For example, I will be using Chrome for a little while and suddenly I'm unable to click on other apps like Discord, Spotify or anything else on my taskbar. I retain full functionality on Chrome and can even open a new window for Chrome and still use that but I can't use anything else.

    $.10 android apps

    Not sure if anyone's seen this yet, but they have $.10 (yes, 10 cents) android apps on the Android Market to celebrate 10 BILLION downloads. So far I've picked up Tetris, Need for Speed Shift, SoundHound amd ADWLauncher EX. There were several other games that were listed, including ones too good for my phone *Frown Windows 10 PC freezes when using an app, mouse still moves but can't click any other apps :(

    Weather App not working windows 8.1

    The apps troubleshooter wouldn't fix it on any of the machines. Tried syncing the app licenses, too. No dice. Uninstalling and reinstalling the MSN Weather App appears to have fixed it.
