Issues with slow boot times, search functionality, and Windows button responsiveness.
Hello
Lately something unusual occurred on the PC twice.
Closing a game in Steam causes lag, and I can't do anything for a few seconds. When I click the blue windows icon in the corner, it doesn't respond.
Signing out and logging back in resolved the issue, but I'm curious why this keeps happening.
I've run a DISM restore and an SFC scan after it happened, and had some slow BIOS boots recently.
It might be that a new update is available. If you believe it's the operating system and SFC/DSIM isn't resolving the problem, consider saving important data, rebuilding your bootable USB installer for the OS, and then reinstalling it offline. What is the motherboard make and model? What BIOS version is installed on your motherboard?
The version of BIOS I'm using is 2214 on an ASUS TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI motherboard (AM5, DDR5, PCIe 4.0, Wi-Fi 6). Updating the BIOS requires approval from the company that built the PC, as doing so voids the warranty I have and only resolves issues related to new hardware support.
