So basically for the last week or so, after powering on or restarting my pc everything just kinda freezes up. I can move my mouse, I can open apps, but when I open them they never fully load, or they look kinda wrong visually, when I expand the windows there’s these black boxes and the window stays the same size, things just don’t work the way they should and I have to power on and off a couple times to get things to work right and then things run normally. I ran the command to fix corrupted files, I scanned for viruses, I ran trouble shooters. I really just don’t know what’s going on and I can’t figure out a way to record these instances well so I’d have something to show you. Please ask clarifying and follow up questions. I don’t even know where to start with this problem really. For some more background info, I recently updated gpu and cpu drivers, I went to windows 11. Every so often I get a full crash and the error says “DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE” but that’s been an issue for much longer than these bad start ups. I turned off a lot of apps that would boot on start up. I wish I could give more and better information but again it’s hard to explain the issue. I’m hoping maybe someone can ask good guiding or clarifying questions. Thanks for all your help in advance.
