Update Windows and drivers
Outdated or incompatible drivers can cause machine freezing.
How to do it: Open Settings → Windows Update → Select Check for updates → Install new updates if available.
Scan for viruses and malware
Malware can reduce performance and cause the computer to freeze.
How to do it: Open Windows Security → Select Virus & threat protection → Perform a full system scan.
Turn off applications launched with Windows
Too many background programs can cause the computer to freeze after booting.
How to do it: Open Task Manager → Startup apps → Turn off unnecessary applications that start with Windows.
When is it necessary to take the machine for inspection?
If you have tried the above methods but the computer is still frequently hanging, the cause may be due to:
1: RAM is faulty.
2: Hard drive or SSD malfunctions.
3: CPU overheating.
4: Mainboard or unstable power source.
Users should bring the device to a warranty center or reputable repair facility for inspection.
