Windows 10's taskbar becomes unresponsive and locks frequently.
Hm. that's weird, try disabling all startup programs/processes to make sure it isn't some piece of software running in the background. You can also try sfc /scannow in CMD to see if it finds any errors. Personally I would just do a clean install to fix all software issues.
I noticed some issues and decided to start with sfc. Before that, I ran chkdsk /scan to check the filesystem cleanliness. The scan didn’t succeed due to bad journals. Then I tried offline scan and fix, but it caused problems. Now I’m downloading a USB installer and the current ISO so I can attempt a repair. The partition repair failed to boot. My afternoon is winding down—good luck!
