    Hello.

    Issue for the frozen device could be different.

    Let's start with these steps:

    1. Check all driver, be sure that they are updated.
    2. Check system files:
    • Check your Memory and Hardware -
    • Open the Search charm > type in “Memory Diagnostic” > open the Windows Memory Diagnostic utility.
    • In the new window which opens, select one of the two options available. The first one will restart Windows immediately and let the system scan the RAM.
    • If it will return an error, then you have your answer. Replace the RAM of your computer and everything should be working properly.
    • On the other hand, if the scan didn’t return any errors, then the problem resides elsewhere.
    • Repair your registry to fix corrupted files -
    • Go to Start > type cmd> right-click Command Prompt > select Run as Administrator
    • Now type the sfc /scannow command
    • Wait for the scanning process to complete and then restart your computer. All corrupted files will be replaced on reboot.
    • Check your disk for errors -
    • Start Command Prompt as administrator and type the chkdsk C: /f command followed by Enter. Replace C with the letter of your hard drive partition.
    • As a quick reminder, if you do not use the /f parameter, chkdsk displays a message that the file needs to be fixed, but it does not fix any errors. The chkdsk D: /f command detects and repairs logical issues affecting your drive. To repair physical issues, run the /r parameter as well.
