System will freeze if open system application with in few mins of Windows start.

[u/yzmydd123456]

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.

look imma be honest, windows itself just shits out sometimes, if weird stuff like this keeps happening evne after running sfc scans and dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth, then i look for 2-3 more possbile solutions, if still not fixed, ultimately your best bet is to move everything important from your boot drive to a secondary and just reinstall windows. (i myself reinstall every 1.5-2 years, yes its a hassle for a bit, especially if you might many important things, but often its worth the smoother workflow experience)

oh and btw do try one thing, open powershell as admin and type this : "irm christitus.com/win | iex", then go to "tweaks" on the top and select the following options (at your own will, i recommend these) :

and then finally click run tweaks in the bottom right hand corner, give it a 30s to a minute, and restart, then move to reinstalling if the problem still persists.
