Windows 10: Windows explorer blue circle won't go away

I just built a new PC. I've only been using it for a week. Everything was running fine, until a couple days ago. When the PC first boots up everything is fine. Then after booting up a game or program, windows explorer stalls.

I can't click anything on the task bar. It doesn't respond, nothing happens. Alt+ctrl+del doesn't do anything either. The "blue circle" comes up only when the mouse is hovering over the task bar. I have to force shut down the PC when it happens.

Please help!

Windows Explorer Hangs On Blue Spinning Circle.

joeandmarg0, thank you for the reply.

This is what I found so far in Reliability History. It appears that IGCCTray fails, a lot

 

Some files listed in Windows Explorer are blue font

I seem to have run out of room on a Windows XP Pro system. I tried to defrag but don't have but 7% room available. I looked in Windows Explorer to try to find some huge files that might be corrupt and I see a few that are listed in blue. What does that mean? I have not compressed anything on purpose. Thanks
