Windows 10: Windows 10 system randomly hangs

Hello, i have a problem that struggles me a long time now... I dont usually post here, so please forgive me if i do any mistakes explaining etc.


i have a machine with win10 Pro latest updates installed

system is right after format and only a few programs needed as the pc used for some light video file compressing and merging


So i ll try to explain the problem the best possible way...


I use "Handbrake" for compressing and "Free Video Cutter Joiner" for cutting and joining video files.


when i finish compression cpu 99% i start the Joining procedure sometimes the pc hangs right before i run the Video joiner app i mentioned before. And by hangs i mean that i can move the mouse etc until i click the app shortcut... Then it takes some time usually 2-3 mins to open the UAC control notification, which is not normal as far as i know, and after opening the app itself after i click the "YES" button in the UAC window.


also i ve noticed sometimes the explorer itself slowing a bit down... when i open folders containing video files not much, happens randomly even with 4-5 files



my question is: Could it be a faulty SSD? cause ive installed a few systems in my life with much worse specs and never saw that again.


The PC specs are:


i3-4160

gtx1050

8GB RAM

Windows 10 Pro 20H2


Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated...

already tried SFCscan etc


Thanks in advance!

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 10 2004 hangs/loading randomly for file system access

Hi, I've installed/upgraded my computer from Windows 10 1909 to 2004 as provided in Windows Update. After upgrading the system startet having huge problems. Windows Explorer and applications
accessing the filesystem startet hanging randomly for minutes, then suddenly came back and then were hanging/loading again. I've then freshly reinstalled Windows 10 2004 again and still have the problem that Windows Explorer and applications accessing the
file system start hanging randomly for minutes (e.g. 5-15) and then work for a limited time before hanging again! Please help! Is this a known bug/problem with Windows 10 2004. With 1909 everything worked like charm! Thanks, Peter

 

Computer Randomly Hangs; cannot run reset

I have been experiencing a number of issues with Windows 10. The computer randomly hangs up for 10 seconds or so. Since updates also would also not install, I ran the troubleshooter. Now I have resolved the update problem but the computer still randomly
hangs for several seconds across all apps. I tried to reset the computer, but when I click on the reset button, nothing happens.

I ran several malware programs and nothing was found by any of them.

How can I resolve the issue? I tried to follow the steps to run the system checker, but I cannot get the computer to display what the steps say should be displayed.

I have a HP Z Book running Windows 10.

Thank you.
