Windows 8.1 64 can freeze during sign-in.
Windows 8.1 64 can freeze during sign-in.
I'm not sure if the issue lies with hardware or software. When I power on my PC from sleep or shut it down completely, sometimes it logs me in but then freezes on the desktop. I can move the mouse, but no programs open and I can't turn it off. I've reinstalled Windows completely, yet the problem persists. After a few restarts, it works fine with no further issues. I checked CPU usage and everything seems normal.

Did you rely on KMSPico to start your Windows or opt for a torrented alternative? I’m aware there’s a version of KMSpico that does both, right? KMSpico automatically launches your Windows each time you log in.
I noticed the issue repeatedly after asking myself, searched extensively online, and luckily discovered the CPU temperature was the cause. This should assist anyone facing the same problem.
