Hey everyone, I'm having an ongoing problem with Windows 11 that's driving me nuts. My system randomly stops letting me click on the taskbar or any apps. I usually have to restart my computer, wait around 20 minutes before logging in, and that sometimes provides a temporary fix. At one point, I even had to reinstall Windows after my OS just disappeared. I've checked all my mouse and keyboard drivers, run diagnostics multiple times, and used antivirus software, so I'm pretty sure it's not a virus.
I really don't want to build a new PC or replace parts unless that's essential. A curious detail - I have a drawing tablet (XP Pen 15.6 Pro) connected, and I'm wondering if that might be contributing to the issue, so I've disconnected it for now. But what can I do next? Any advice would be much appreciated!

It sounds frustrating! I’d recommend reinstalling Windows to see if that resolves your issues. There are plenty of step-by-step guides online if you need help with it. Sometimes fresh installations can clear up lingering problems.
I’ll get my dad to help with that since he’s good with tech stuff. Just discovered something odd: when I use my tablet instead of my main monitor and mouse, the freezing happens less often. I was able to run some diagnostics that way, but still no solutions.
