Hello,

Since a few days my OS keeps freezing at random points.

I can still use the mouse and do some things, but I can't access the Taskbar. Windows key doesn't work, but alt+tab does.

Task manager does show up after some time, but I can't interact with it until it crashes at some point.

Also it doesn't show particularly high system usage except for ~25% CPU usage from Windows Explorer.

I cut all connections the computer had, suspecting some sort of hidden miner or something like that, since I have a pretty powerful PC, considering I basically just have a browser and some light programs open.


After a while the explorer itself seems to crash and after it restarts the issue is gone.

It happend for the third time this month just as I'm typing this, so not that often but it's worrying me a bit.


System specs:

Windows 10 Pro for Workstation

32GB RAM

i5 8500


The computer is connected to the Internet via WiFi and via Lan to a Proliant DL380 G7, which is running 30-40 Virtual Machines and is usually connected to the wifi through my computer.
