This is a weird one that my computer has been doing on and off for the last couple months. Every now and then after startup/login it will freeze but only system related apps. CTRL ALT DELETE doesn't work, taskbar is unresponsive, however non-system related apps such as games will function as normal. Also if you press CTRL ALT DELETE or click on the taskbar or start menu it won't do anything and then about 10-30 seconds later everything will happen. You will get task manager, wifi options, start menu and it all works as normal.
Thoughts? I've done the usual stuff plus the sfc/scan and restore system files. Updated no viruses or malware that I've found. It's only windows app and system app related (like say microsoft picture viewer doesn't work but other 3rd party programs will). This is a Dell G5 5500 laptop and I have also downloaded bios and other driver updates.
Problem is intermittent and I've had no luck replicating it.
