Hi all,
not sure if this is a Windows 10 or hardware problem.
Symptoms:
Been happening a few months now, at times computer will just hang but I still have control of the mouse.
Computer is unresponsive to Control Alt Delete - usually have to wait between 90 seconds to sometimes 4 minutes before system presents Task Manager/reset screen.
Mouse still operative but cannot select shut down or restart.
Am able to do the the "all else fails" switch off.
Situation: Home PC purchased 2016 only used for PC operations not gaming or publishing.
The problem can be any time but trying to narrow down using my limited computer knowledge it is usually when I am selecting multiple webpages or conducting two or three operations at once.
This has never been a problem in the past but having a squiz at other forums out there note that there are others experiencing the same problem.
The only things that I can think of is; that it might be a local Broadband issue (providers are always carrying out some maintenance or other) or just may be the CPU is now an old fart like me!
What really has me beat is that Control Alt Delete doesn't stop everything - I thought that this was the original big re-set because it instantly interrupted the CPU
I have reinstalled Windows 10, reinstalled all my system drivers and the software for my Printer Scanner.
So am beholding to all out there that may have had the same or similar problem.
Regards,
Geoff
