Random Freezing and Hanging in Build 14279
After a clean install of Build 14279, then reinstalling several programs, I'm getting occasional and random freeze-ups.
I posted this reply:Blutos Cousin posted the following:
I've been having random freezing in 14279 rs1 where the mouse pointer disappears and turns into something that looks like a capital I ( just like when you hover over text in a forum post here ) It becomes unresponsive for something ~ less than 30 sec . the KB is unresponsive also before the mouse pointer re appears .
This happens in Chrome 64 & also happens occasionally in file explorer or photo viewer ,Groove Music ,etc . ,it's random and more frequent when multitasking and or using multiple browsing tabs and or apps. Anybody else see this it's more frequent than prior builds and just to note I haven't done a clean install in a good while and have been doing update installs of the Insider builds ?
I think we might better figure this out if it has its own thread, so . . .At first I thought it was Outlook that was misbehaving, but as things go on, other apps seem to misbehave too, so I'm now wondering if it may be Build 14279.
But here's the kicker . . . normally if something's not right, it'll be the update that's got problems and a clean install seems to make things work all better. Well, not for me this time . . . Things seemed to be working fine with the update, but they're not so fine with the clean install.
Oh, yeah, let's ad one more anomaly to the mix. Firefox has a new update and so does Office 365 2016, not to mention that 14279 is also a new build!
