Struggling with Bugs in Windows 11 25H2 – Any Fixes?
Asked by
TechWhiz99
I just installed the new Windows 11 25H2, but I'm running into some serious bugs. My Windows Explorer keeps hanging, especially when I try to right-click on any file. Restarting it through Task Manager works temporarily, but the problem comes back right away. Also, I'm dealing with a long black screen after logging in unless I hold the Shift key while shutting down. Once I turn my laptop back on, it seems fine for a bit, but then the issues resurface. I'm using an HP Pavilion x360 with a core i5, 16GB of RAM, and a 500GB SSD. What can I do to resolve these issues?

It sounds like your Windows installation might be corrupted, which isn't uncommon with Windows 11 since there are still a lot of bugs. A clean install could really help clear up the issues you're facing. You can find a guide for re-installing Windows 11 [here](https://rtech.support/installations/install-11/).

You should check the Task Manager to see which resources are being heavily used. Sometimes, a rogue process can eat up your RAM and CPU without you realizing it. If your system is showing 10GB of RAM usage with nothing open, that's a red flag!
PCFanatic77: That's strange! Have you tried restarting your computer in safe mode to see if the same issue occurs? It can help isolate whether it's a software problem or something more serious.
