Perform Clean Boot
Performing a clean boot is a troubleshooting technique that allows you to start your computer with a minimal set of drivers and programs.
This can be helpful in identifying conflicts or problems with certain programs or drivers that may be causing issues with your system.
To perform a clean boot on a Windows computer:
Press the Windows key + R to open the Run window.
Type "msconfig" and press Enter. This will open the System Configuration window.
In the General tab, select "Selective startup".
Uncheck the box next to "Load startup items".
Go to the Services tab and check the box next to "Hide all Microsoft services". This will disable all Microsoft services.
Click the "Disable all" button to disable all other non-Microsoft services.
Click Apply and then OK to save the changes.
Restart your computer.
When your computer restarts, it will start up with a minimal set of drivers and programs. You can then test to see if the issue you were experiencing persists. If the issue does not occur in clean boot, you can try enabling one service or program at a time until you find the one that is causing the issue.
Keep in mind that a clean boot may cause some programs to not function properly. If you need to use a particular program or service, you will need to enable it in the System Configuration window before you can use it.
