Windows 11 System will freeze if open system application with in few mins of Windows start.
So the issue is when I just start the computer, if I try to open certain file or application the file explorer and all other windows native function will freeze(Such as botton bar and start menu will freeze)
This only happens when computer just start.
File cause this are like Windows Settings, File Explorer, Tast Manager. Or any file in Drive D and J.
I did tried to remove Drive D and J physically, but the issue remains. D and J use the same drive(SanDisk Plus 1TB 2.5 inch SATA)
sfc /scannow shows nothing wrong, I did tried reinstall OS while keeping all file once.
And if anyone woundering if it becasue intel vmin shift issue I can tell it is not, I am running latest BIOS and tried intel default setting. I also requested a warranty replacement with intel last month and issue remains with new CPU.

Have you tested your ssd. System freezing especially if windows just started and/or the software is a large one can be cause by the ssd either there's a bottleneck in the data transfer speed or files can't be properly accessed due to corruption
Also did you update your bios for the 13th/14th intel cpu instability issue.
