Windows 11 completely freezes

Event 41 records that Windows restarted without a clean shutdown, which fits your forced power-offs; it does not identify the original freeze. Likewise, 0xc0000005 means an access violation in the ASUS process, but the faulting-module name alone does not prove combase.dll or the Windows update caused it.

The repeatable two-minute idle trigger makes a controlled background-software test useful. Record your Windows build and the exact installed KB first. Then follow Microsoft’s clean-boot procedure: in System Configuration, hide all Microsoft services before disabling the remaining services, and record which startup apps you disable in Task Manager.

Restart and repeat the idle test. If the freeze disappears, re-enable the disabled items in groups to isolate the offender, paying attention to the ASUS components implicated in your log. Restore normal startup after testing.

If it still freezes, provide the clean-boot result, hardware model, KB, and events immediately preceding the freeze for further diagnosis.
