Start with a Clean Boot on PC

Hi Mouela, for a clean boot, open System Configuration, hide all Microsoft services, then disable the remaining third-party services. After that, disable startup apps from Task Manager and restart. If the problem disappears, turn services back on in small groups until the issue returns. The last group you enabled usually contains the cause. Once you find the bad app or service, update it, uninstall it, or leave it disabled. Do not leave the PC in clean boot forever; use it only for testing.
