    Hi, thanks for the detailed information. As per checking and analyzing the event files you have, there are general errors in the event files. Moreover, kindly follow the steps below for us to fix the issue:

    Do a clean boot:

    A “clean boot” starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs, so that you can determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program.

    • In the search box on the taskbar, type msconfig and select System Configuration from the results.
    • On the Services tab of System Configuration, select Hide all Microsoft services, and then select Disable all.
    • On the Startup tab of System Configuration, select Open Task Manager.
    • Under Startup in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and then select Disable.
    • Close Task Manager.
    • On the Startup tab of System Configuration, select OK. When you restart the computer, it's in a clean boot environment.

    If none of the above solutions work, I suggest doing an in-place upgrade, wherein it will update the device to the latest version and repair all issues without deleting any files.

    Hi Joel, thank you for replying. After checking and analyzing the application logs, it is only displaying a general error on the PC. In addition, can you upload and share the system logs of the PC so I can further analyze what is causing the issue?

    Thank you for your patience.

    Hi, I'm Bernard, a fellow Windows user. I'm happy to help!

    Based on your initial inputs, the pause or freeze might be due to unnecessary services running in the background, or there is a hardware-related issue, such as a file system error. In this case, can you please check the System logs on the PC so I can further examine the root cause of the issue?

    To do this, kindly follow the steps from this link:
