Q: My windows 10 machine freezes for about 1 second when I right-click anywhere in desktop and also when I open up my browser. How do you fix it?
- This could be an issue with a system file being corrupt. Run the system file checker utility to fix it. Right click your start button and select Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt. In Command prompt type sfc /scannow and press enter. Restart the computer.
- Run Deployment Image Servicing and Management. In the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type the following commands. Press Enter key after each command: DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth Important: When you run this command, DISM uses Windows Update to provide the files that are required to fix corruptions.
- Check the Windows update status. It may have some updates waiting for installing.
