Freezing desktop and taskbar icons and freezing applications
Hello
Wondering if anybody can help with a windows 10 issue
My pc has been working fine for weeks now
Suddenly, over the last few days its developed an issue that seems to be getting progressively worse
Basically, all the desktop and taskbar icons keep freezing up so I cannot click on anything
Even when starting up and choosing an account, this seems to stop working
The only way I can get to another account is by tabbing through and pressing return
Once I am in, I was able to click on one application to launch it
After doing this, again all the taskbar and desktop icons stop working
I say was as I cannot even launch a single app now
What I can do is press ctrl, alt, delete and start task manager
Once this has started, the icons work again
But, again, once I've launch something they stop working until I launch task manager again
Also, when in something like Word, the ability to click on literally anything stops after a while - again, task manager fixes this
I've also noticed that if I go into something like chrome or IE, it seems to work but if I leave it for a few seconds it automatically goes back to the previous screen or, if I am scrolling down a page it will suddenly take me back to the top
As of today, IE now seems to have stopped altogether
It launches but then closes almost immediately
I've tried creating and using a new account - hard work setting up as this kept freezing but I got there
No success
I've fully virus scanned a couple of time - no problems
I've run PC repair (reimage tool) through
It found a couple of APP issues but no real problems
CPU, Memory and Disk are all relatively low
Has anybody seen this before?
Any thoughts please as I can't really use it at the moment - typing this on another laptop as it shut the browser down part way through on my PC!
Thanks
Damian.
