Windows freezing issues occur when the system becomes unresponsive.
Windows has been running very high for me lately. Initially, the PC would freeze with a Watchdog warning that seemed vague. I've attempted various fixes but the issue persists. Recently, it started freezing during startup and shutdowns, requiring a hard restart. Each attempt to reset or reboot only led to temporary freezes. The media tool also froze during setup. A USB was created, but fast boot settings blocked access to BIOS, causing further interruptions. Now I'm stuck with mouse-related problems, which seem to trigger freezes at critical steps. I can't afford new hardware right now. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I don’t understand how to resolve the window problem, but if you need your computer, consider using Linux in live USB mode. I suggest Linux Mint. To set this up, you’ll first need to download the file (likely an ISO) and use a tool like Rufus to create a bootable USB stick (at least 8GB). Keep in mind that when you power off, all your work is lost.
