Solve : Start Screen, Apps, and Programs Freezing on Windows 8.1? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>I started having a number of problems recently on my Asus laptop, which is running Windows 8.1:<br/><br/>--When navigating to the Start Screen and trying to click on one of the apps (for example, the Maps program), the system immediately freezes and can't be recovered unless I use Ctrl-Alt-Del and sign out, then sign in again<br/><br/>--Unable to shut down the computer as I normally did in the past: sweeping the mouse from the right, clicking Settings-->Power-->Shut Down.

Opening Windows Media Player or some other programs is the same: they freeze or don't open at all. <br/><br/>The problems probably started within the last 1-2 weeks or so, and may have coincided with the most recent Windows update (KB3074219). <br/><br/>I can still browse the Internet and use other basic functions, but I'm wondering what might be causing all these <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/issues-520128" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ISSUES">ISSUES</a> suddenly to occur at once, and how to fix them?

I have also seen some note about "Task Host Window" preventing shutdown or signing out.
