Windows Random Freezing
Windows 10 Pro version 20H2
Build Number 19042.804
About a month ago my laptop started to hang or freeze randomly. It's totally random, sometimes it happens when doing heavy tasks like video editing or gaming and sometimes it happens when watching movies or when I'm just hovering mouse for no reason. I can move my cursor but the whole background is frozen and sometimes I can't even move the cursor. The freeze time totally random, sometimes it lasts about 5-10 sec.
I tried various solutions offered from forums and Youtube. Like Disk checks, scan for malware and virus, tweaking power options. But I did a test on my HDD using Crystal Disk Info and it shows 'Caution' with one bad sector something like that.
So I can't figure out the cause for this, all drivers are up to date, no windows updates. Please let me know if you need any more files like logs or reports.
