    So my situation is a little weird. My computer has been having some kind of hardware issue I think. Sometimes it will randomly freeze, and crash some games and Spotify. Other times, it works just fine. Lately, though, it's been acting weird. After I've had my computer on for a while, it will randomly tell me that I need to activate Windows, long after I have already had it activated. Whenever I restart my computer, it tells me to press any key to skip disk checking, and when I do, it continues as normal, but when I don't, it says scanning and repairing Drive C, does it for maybe two or three s
