Windows 10: Windows 11 - Desktop Specific Halt

Hello,I have been having this repeating problem with my desktop, and I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing the same or had a solution. Sometimes when clicking / dragging on my desktop, my cursor changes to the blue spinning circle and won't turn back until I restart Explorer.exe. This problem doesn't affect the taskbar or start in any way. It's not a mission critical bug but seems like something I should report. If anyone needs to know my specs, I have a Rog Zephyrus g15 3070 Ryzen model.Let me know if you need anything else from me,I have my notifications on, - Chris

Is there a Remote Desktop specific for Windows 11?

Is there a Remote Desktop specific for Windows 11? Before I upgraded from Windows 10, my connection had been fine. Since being on 11, it's slow at best (despite fast network connection), and frequently hangs or drops the connection. My local machine is the Windows 11, and I'm connecting to a Windows 10 machine via a VPN, The VPN connection is fast and maintains the connection, so it's just the Remote Desktop.

Go over WIndows 11 with this checklist to find and fix problems:

1) See if you can System Restore to a point before the problem started:

How To Use Windows 11 System Restore Point (4 Ways)

System Restore is your first line of defense and can take you back to a point before a problem began like a time machine. If it doesn't help then you can undo it. Read about it first in the tutorial above and then try restoring to just before this started. If System Restore is not enabled on C drive do that now so it's available in the future.

If the problem repeats or System Restore doesn't work then check which Windows Updates were installed at Settings > Update & Security > Windows Updates > Update History, uninstall them there or System Restore again, then immediately check for and block the Updates with the Hide Updates tool explained here: https://www.droidwin.com/how-to-stop-only-a-spe...



2) Update your drivers from the PC maker's Support Downloads webpage for your exact model. While there check for the latest Chipset, BIOS, Sound, Network, USB3, Bluetooth and all other drivers to compare with the version/date installled for that device in Device Manager reached by right clicking the Start Menu.

If the drivers are not present or not working for Facial Recognition or Fingerprint then contact your PC manufacturer's Support.

3) Run a full Windows 11 Disk Check: https://allthings.how/how-to-run-chkdsk-in-wind...

4) Establish a Clean Boot to turn off Startup Freeloaders that can conflict and cause issues:

5) Download, install and run a full scan with free Malwarebyes from Download Malware Removal | Free Antivirus Scan & Virus Protection Tool after enabling Root Kit scan in Scan Settings. Clean Up anything it finds and then run again. Turn off Real Time trial in Control panel to keep as on-demand scanner.

6) Run System File Checker/DISM in WIndows 11:

7) If that doesn't fix it then you can do a Windows 11 Repair Upgrade which reinstalls Windows while saving your files and apps in place, brings it up to the latest version by the most stable method, takes about an hour and resolves most problems: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/repair-install-wi...
