So today my computer booted up and I noticed it was taking a while until I can actually click on anything to start. After it wasn’t able to start, I open up task manager. I don’t do anything with it, but somehow my issue is fixed temporarily.
I’ve run a full malwaryebytes scan as well as AVG. I also checked for corrupted files with the SFC /Scannow command. I also defragmented my drive and ran CC cleaner.
No solution. Any fixes out there?
So, I was looking through some other forum posts about my same exact issue. I found a thread in which lot of people were experiencing the same exact issue as mine. Further down the thread, somebody mentioned their mouse causing the problem. The next post someone mentioned this,
“Hey. I had the same problem and it turned out to be a constantly-pressed side button of the mouse.”
Upon reading this, a great giant nuke of a light bulb came on in my head and I realized that the issue began occurring ever since my side mouse button began acting up. What the problem was with the mouse is that I would barely touch it and the page I was browsing would go back a page. I also experienced this in teamspeak where my microphone button was lit up even though I was not pressing the button. I pressed the button to try to turn off the open microphone I had but no luck. At that moment I muted my microphone and thought nothing of it.
I tried replicating the issue by hitting ctrl+alt+delete and canceling task manager so that I have no hang/freeze occurring at the moment. I go open up a browser, go forward a couple pages. I quickly hover my mouse over the bottom right notification icons to make sure everything still works. Then I hit the mouse button. I hover down in the bottom right and viola..the freeze occurred.
Funny thing about the mouse thing, I actually ordered a new mouse to replace my current mouse before realizing my fix to the issue.
Once again, thank you both for the kind help!
