Windows 11 hangs for about 10 or more seconds every so often and input is frozen. This only started a few weeks ago and my guess is that a Windows 11 update may have caused it. Are here any diagnostics I can use to trace this?

    Please check to see if your PC is producing any small Watchdog dump files, I will check those to see if they provide any insight into a potential cause of the system crashes.

    Open Windows File Explorer.

    Navigate to C:\Windows\LiveKernelReports

    If there are any Watchdog dump files in the sub-folders of that folder, copy the files onto your Desktop, then zip those up.

    Upload the zip file to the Cloud (OneDrive... etc.), then choose to share those and get a share link.

    Then post the link here to the zip file, so I can take a look for you.
