So I got this fresh out new PC, hardly anything on it. First time I run with Windows 11 and it keeps freezing after a while, what could be the cause?
It's not a bad PC its running;
i9 12900KF processor
RTX 3090 VENTUS 24gb
2x16gb Patriot Viper Steel 3200Mhz RAM
and system running on a M.2 Kingston SSD

Not sure what's causing the freezes 😕
What happens is;
I notice it when I swap windows and the other windows become interactable, I can move them around but I can't click anything up from the menu or interact with anything in the windows, if I open up the start menu I can't interact with it and then after a while it goes to a total freeze where even the mouse stops moving. Task manager is not possible to open up prior to the perma freeze either.

Not sure if this is the right place to post it.
 
Solution
Does your issue still occur if you restart pc and fresh boot into windows.

Usually freezes like what your describing happens, because windows has updated and needs to restart to apply.

If it's not that then try (a fresh install maybe) or (you have a hardware problem)
