About this tag
Resource contention in Windows environments often manifests as system unresponsiveness or application freezes. In one case, Remote Desktop Server sessions on Windows Server become unresponsive at a consistent time, displaying a black screen until a reboot, with Trend Micro Worry-Free Business Security identified as a common factor.
