Computer problems?

   For the last few days, I've noticed that my laptop 'freezes' at times. At first, I thought it was the 'game' I was playing, but then it happened when I was playing Solitaire--the one that comes with all Windows computers.  It was happening frequently, which worried me. 

   So, since it's been 18 months since I did a Reset on this 6-year-old laptop, I thought maybe that's what it needed.  My other option was to ask my computer guru to look at it, to see if they could see what the problem was. I wasn't sure what I  should do.

   I thought about the problem for a day or so; then I went ahead & moved all my Files to my external drive--to be safe. I also made a list of all the programs I have on here, via screenshot. 

    Today, when I went to 'recover', I remembered the 'before the Reset' option. It took quite a while, but I used that to install the 'Windows 11 repair version".   So far, it's working fine. So I'll see what happens. 

Some info: I've used the Reset option multiple times over the years, on both my laptops. That has always fixed whatever the problem was.

And it's still happening! I just had to restart again. So annoying.

I've had no problems. Of course, the first thing I did was change taskbar to LEFT.

I'm still figuring out where everything is on Windows 11.
