Do we have different definitions of "freezing"? You are talking about how to shut a computer down and prevent suspending it and one sign of having a virus. But that is not what Freezing means, right? Freezing is when user input is no longer accepted. Sometimes audio keeps playing and sometimes (a lot rarer) the video output also keeps running, but you can no longer actually do things. Imagine a program freezing, but for the whole computer. With that title I was expecting a trick to limit how much of your cpu, gpu and ram a program is allowed to use, so that issues in one program don't block the rest of your computer.

Chris, dude! DISABLE: FAST STARTUP and HYBRID SLEEP in Windows! It's the first thing to do!

Disabling windows "fast startup" is usually a good recommendation aswel. This fixes a whole load of problems down the line.

how come in power options advanced settings when I change it to high performance it wont work and it just stays in power saver mode?

I had issues with Debian based Linux distros freezing. I loved Linux mint but it always froze on my newer machine. It took me a year of reading forums to work out what the issue was. I had my PC connected to an Ethernet port but my PC also had a WIFI card. I never used the WIFI but apparently if you don't switch it off on Debian based distros it causes random kernal panics. After reading that I immediately installed Mint, disabled the WIFI through the OS and never had an issue since. Hope that helps someone.

Hello, could you please help me with something? I downloaded a .zip file, and now, not only can I not delete it, (file explorer freezes and can't close exept by shut downs whenever I try), it freezes when I try to take screenshots, and when I try to reboot my machine, it takes 2 tries. First it brings up a black screen after I signin, and the second time it works. Could you please help me?

Hello Chris if you have a SSD drive that shows some bad sectors could this drive be used just for storing say music and software you download. or should you not use it at all

Also disable fast startup in Windows 8+ or select restart if you're experiencing issues

idk my pc seems literally frozen when I turn it on everything seems fine fans on lights on but when I turn it off or on my keyboard and mouse are on but won’t respond like they are frozen and the display won’t show. I tried staying up until 5hours if it just restarting but nothing fixed so far .. anyone have any solution other then replacing something because everything is functioning but somewhat not responding

[undeadhero]

[theepicslayersss]

at 9:20 isn't your ram speed a little low? or is that due to the VM? (should be closer to 16 to 24 GB per seconds on DDR4 2400 MHz right?)

I cannot use my start menu, action center, photos, music, edge, windows store, windows defender. Scanned it for virus with Malwarebytes but it was all clean. Used some tweaks I found on the Microsoft website, none of them worked. Any help will be appreciated.
