  1. Windows keeps freezing even on the most simplest of tasks


    Hello everyone. As of a few weeks ago, I started noticing that my PC would begin freezing up when doing even simple things, like resizing a window. However, it’s gotten to a point where everything pretty much freezes my PC, and I can’t get any work done. I feel like it started when I updated my PC, but since it’s been a while it’s too late to revert back.

    I’m hoping that someone can help me out, because I really need to be able to use my computer again (typing this in mobile). When I log in and open any app, it’ll freeze. My mouse cursor will disappear, the app won’t load, etc. If I launch task manager, that’ll automatically crash as well and say Not Responding. There’s literally nothing I can do, and each time it happens I hold the power button and manually shut it down, only for it to happen again whenever I boot it up.

    Has this happened to anyone? I really would like to know what I can do to fix this. Thank you

  2. Chrome keeps freezing on Windows 10

    Hi Pat,



    There may be a few reasons why your Google Chrome keeps on freezing. One reason is the browser that you're using. For us to further isolate your concern, we need you to answer the following:



    • Is this happening on other browsers as well (e.g. Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox)?
    • Does the issue persist only on a specific website or it occurs on all websites?


    Let us know if you're still getting the same error after performing our suggested troubleshooting step so we can assist further.

    Windows keeps freezing up

    Hi Brian,

    If your computer is freezing, it could due to the operating system being outdated, or that some applications in your system is causing it to freeze, etc. For us to isolate the issue about Windows 10 freezing, kindly respond to the questions below:

    • When does Windows 10 hangs/freezes? Is it after logging in to Windows? Or is it when you are using an application?
    • Are there any third-party applications installed on your computer?
    • Did you upgrade to Windows 10 from a previous version of Windows? If yes, which version of Windows was previously installed on your computer?

    As a first troubleshooting step, we suggest that you check if there are updates that are waiting to be installed on your computer. If there are, kindly install them and restart your computer. After restarting, check if Windows 10 still freezes. Here's how
    to check for updates in Windows 10:

    • Press the Windows key + I to open the
      Settings
      app.
    • From Settings, select Update & security >
      Windows Update
      , then select Check for updates.

    We look forward to an update from you.
