Greetings to all! As a software developer, I’ve come across a persisting issue with hangs on my system recently. While occasional crashes are somewhat expected in Windows 11, lasting only about a second or so, my system has been freezing up during daily tasks, particularly when working on projects in Visual Studio. Curiously, the audio continues playing smoothly even after the system becomes unresponsive.

Oddly enough, my high-end PC doesn’t encounter these freezes when running graphics-intensive games like GTA5 or Valorant on ultra settings, only during regular use. Despite checking the event viewer, the cause of these hangs remains elusive, ruling out malware, hardware issues, or system overload as potential culprits.

One workaround I’ve employed in the past for a taskbar-related glitch was using ExplorerPatcher. Nevertheless, the recurring system freezes persist, forcing me to resort to a hard reset as the only solution to regain control.
