All things stop whenever I attempt to open settings directly, or access a specific app settings through right-clicking (such as switching from speakers to headphones). Anything I'm doing on the internet stops working, and in most cases, any app I have open, including browsers stops responding. Start menu lags behind in minutes when I click it. Even restarting the PC is a 10-minute process.
It originally started when Windows Security stopped working and I would run into these problems trying to access and update it. I looked into the problem a little bit and saw some people had a similar problem with a Win Security update not downloading and was advised to downloaded an anti-malware program. I downloaded Malwarebytes for malware and McAfee for virus protection while Win Security was mia. Ran multiple scans throughout the week, identified and quarantined a couple of malware on my PC, but no malicious trackers or viruses. But the problem still persists. I am unable to download critical win Security updates or even access anything through settings at this type. What the hell is wrong? How do I download and install those updates? Ii feel like something is blocking me from doing so.
