Constant Hanging Issue in Windows 11

Greetings, everyone! As a software developer, I have encountered a significant issue with my system recently. While using Windows 11, it has become common to experience brief crashes, typically lasting about a second, such as when accessing the "control center" from the taskbar. However, unlike the typical behavior where the OS resumes functioning afterward, my system has started hanging during regular tasks.

 

Initially, my computer operated smoothly without such interruptions, except for the taskbar issue that was resolved by installing ExplorerPatcher. Presently, I encounter system hangs while performing routine activities, where my mouse cursor remains movable for a brief period before the entire system freezes. Curiously, any audio playing at the time continues uninterrupted as if nothing is wrong, further complicating the situation.

 

Notably, these hang-ups seem to occur most frequently during project build processes in Visual Studio. Interestingly, I have not faced this problem when indulging in graphically demanding games like GTA5, Valorant, or Dying Light 2 at ultra settings. To regain access to my system, a hard reset becomes necessary each time this issue arises.

 

Despite owning a high-end PC, the event viewer offers minimal insight except for the recurring report of "The previous shutdown was unexpected." This ongoing challenge has prompted me to seek a reliable solution for uninterrupted computing experiences.
