Hello

I reinstalled W11 recently... i have the most recent updates.
I get weird freezes where i cant use the explorer anymore. When i open the computer im ok but 1-2 hours in i get this.
I can still use task manager and run but there are also other issues.
If i kill the explorer from task manager and try to open it again it never opens... if i try to do shutdown from run a cmd appears and nothing happens, the computer doesnt shut down.
The only thing i can do is force restart.
I have plenty of space, i dont think i installed anything shady.
