    I suffered the same issue, freezing after hibernation or idle. Tried many solutions, nothing helped. I had installed too many free pieces of software, for disk management, cleaners, driver checkers, etc. Eventually I did a clean install, and only installed what I actually needed. I did this...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST System freezes when idle

    It's alright, it was peeing down here yet again :cry: I'd have been out in the Sun also. I had a freeze yesterday afternoon, using the Amazon RAM - so looks unlikely to be RAM related. I created a new Flash drive with the Windows Media Creation Tool, looks to be the May 2021 Update, I'll try...

When it froze, initially I could click on the desktop, I have a desktop icon which runs...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST System freezes when idle

    No rush, it's a pain when it happens but it's not stopping me using the PC. When it freezes, the first visual sign is the desktop apps stop, I have an analog clock app and the second hand stops moving. At this point you can no longer access the desktop apps or use the window taskbar menu...
