"Preparing Security Options" and freezing
Hello all!
Recently, my computer freezes, my cursor moves really slow, my RGB corsair keyboard and RGB mousepad light start to move oddly, I can't close out any windows, can't click the start button..... but when I manage to CTRL-ALT-DELETE. a "preparing security options" menu comes up. Once I restart, things seem normal for a while, and then the same thing happens.
Only when I revert to an image backup does the problem go away for a time.
My computer was not doing this for months after I had it built, but is a problem all of a sudden. I even terminate the RGB Corsair cue to see if it was that... but the light animations just stopped, yet the computer still performed horribly as above.
- I don't think it's a virus because this has happened before a few months ago and so I just decided to do a fresh install a windows---and here we are.
- Updating SSD drivers I cannot do---as the Samsung drivers that were just released for the new NVME----I have heard are causing the SSDs to become bricks. So, no thanks!
There seem to be a few threads on this... but never a legit fix. Or, it seems to be that everyone has a different variation of the issue. Like right now, if I ctrl-alt-delete, the preparing security options doesn't come up, but once this bad boy freezes up, the ctrl-alt-delete combination causes that option menu to show up.
