Windows 10 bug?

kevvyb · 05 Mar 2020

I have noticed that recently both my machines will exhibit behavior where my browser stops loading pages or takes a long while to load pages. I have tried different browsers and the same happens.

A restart fixes it.

At the same time and maybe not unrelated I have found that my machines suddenly stop opening pdf files. This has also happened with word and excel. All file associations are set correctly but again a restart is the only thing that fixes it.

This has started int he last two months or so.

Does anyone have any ideas what may be the cause for either or both of these issues?

Thanks in advance.

Your 1st step may be to open an administrator cmd prompt
and use sfc /scannow (if you have problems try running it again)

from the Admin Cmd try DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

see if these will correct the problem.

This now seems to have stopped as suddenly as it started. I did nothing. How mysterious!
Thanks all.
