    Laptop freezes for a minute after bootup or sleep


    My Dell XPS 13 9370 (250GB SSD) runs perfectly fine except after bootup or sleep. It works fine directly after bootup/sleep but after a few minutes the laptop freezes and I can't do anything. After a minute, the freezing stops and everything is fine. The freezing only happens once and only every time I boot it up.

    Help would be great!

    Thank you! :)

    Note this post about the same laptop today:

    Start with a basic disk check: e.g.
    HD Tune (free) Health and error scan tabs
    Download HD Tune 2.55

    If that's ok then from an admin command or Powershell prompt run
    chkdsk c: /scan

    If ok, similarly run
    SFC /SCANNOW

    and report the result.

    Have you tried turning fast startup off?

    HD Tune returned fine. No errors and disk is healthy.

    Chkdsk C: /scan ran fine and had no problems.

    SFC /SCANNOW said it found some problem but has resolved them.

    I think it has fixed the problem until now. No more freezing after start up. I will report in some time to confirm if the problem has really been resolved.

    Thank you very much dalchina! :)
