Win 10 random freeze at work but not at home
I have a Dell Inspiron laptop with Win 10 Anniversary update. I use it both at home and work. At home I have no issues at all. Works fine.
However, at work it freezes randomly soon after boot. I can usually get to my desktop, but as soon as I start an application it soon freezes. Nothing responds, can't start Task Manager, can't use the Start menu. The cursor appears normal when in the primary part of the desktop, but I get a spinning timeout circle when the cursor is in the taskbar. The only way out is a forced power down (hold down the power button until the laptop turns off).
The only variable I can think of is a different WiFi network, but I seem to be connected at both locations.
Anyone have any ideas of where else I should look?
