I've been having a persistent issue with Windows. This has occurred over two systems. I'll always be watching a stream on Twitch (it only happened once in a discord call with screen being shared) and first the stream will freeze up, chat will get very choppy, and then windows itself will sort of freeze up.
What I mean by this is that I can still move my mouse around and even close some things (not all) but its very clearly not working properly. I can open task manager but the processes and performance sections will not update. And I'll be left with a ghost of the "Task Manager" button I click on after right clicking the task bar.
I'm really at a loss for what this could be. It started late in my other PC's life and has continued with another PC. All they have in common is the case, one NVME drive, and a cpu cooler. The install on the new PC was a fresh install from boot media created on the old PC.
I'm not sure what to do at this point aside from wiping the computer and doing a fresh install again.
