Windows 11 - Strange desktop image problem after the machine was off for varying periods

11-10-2022, 04:35 AM #14It seems quite unusual, I felt confused and worried about my computer. I've tried this before, but it hasn't helped yet. I'll keep tracking the problem and reach out if it persists. Extremely annoying.
Another update. I discovered this discussion on Duckgo after seeing strange delays or unresponsiveness in desktop icons after a fresh Windows 11 setup with all updates. It looks like the problem might have been fixed after a few hours of testing. Appreciate the advice! Quite odd situation.
I finally located a discussion board addressing the exact issue, since most threads focused on computer freezing. The initial sign appeared with a new NVMe storage device, prompting concerns about hardware failure. I considered that installing Windows on the NVMe drive might be the cause. I attempted a workaround by deleting widgets and will update you once I’ve tested it over a few days

Waste electricity completely. Just let your computer enter sleep mode (memory stand-by, then hibernate before turning off) after 45 minutes or an hour. This not only burns coal but also leaves unknown data sent to services while you're idle. It creates a vulnerability for malware on connected networks all day and night. Unpatched Wi-Fi routers have been hacked recently, and many security flaws in Windows remain undiscovered. Your device could get infected via a zero-day exploit when unused. To prevent this, back up your data regularly—especially the Windows partition. For extra protection, adjust your power plan to use minimal CPU power, lowering heat and energy consumption.
