Hi again,
Well, I'm really liking Windows 11, I like how if you have two windows open, and you click on the one not showing it minimizes the one on top and expands the other, instead of putting the smaller one on top of the larger one maybe Windows 10 would do that two, but it wasn't on my...

My Windows phone (Nokia Lumia 630) is only eight months old but ever since I first got it it has randomly closed down apps I'm using. It comes up with Resuming... And deletes everything I was doing in that app. For some apps it freezes and completely restarts my phone. Any ideas on what I could do?
