Hi,
First of all, I'm not really an expert on this field, so I'll try to describe my problem the best I can.
---
This has been happening for about a month or so. First, the Task Bar crashing, with the Busy icon spinning forever, no notification of errors, but at least you could still move the cursor over the bar, and after a reboot it was all fine. Also, if I was on my navigator, I could still use it if I disabled Windows Explorer via Task Manager.
A few weeks later, same issue, but now the Task Bar freezes completely, you can't move the cursor over that zone. And if I had programs opened, none of them responded either. I needed to reboot 3 or 4 times to make it work properly. But at the moment I'm navigating using Safe Mode, since it's the only way it doesn't crash again.
This freezing occurs always at a very specific time. It goes like this: I start the pc, all programs load normally. I can even open the navigator or Explorer and do normal stuff but suddenly after about 3 or 5 minutes it freezes again.
---
I guess it could be some program trying to open or work in background at startup that is causing this issue? I tried disabling everything I could: programs and scheduled events, updating Windows, uninstalling recent programs, but with no luck. And at this point I can't do much without Safe Mode, and currently looking at Event Viewer checking for errors. Any help would be appreciated.
