Windows 10

OS Build 15063.1029

Dell 5580


Randomly, my Dell 5580 will appear to freeze up, the spinning wheel goes for 30 seconds or so and my Windows 10 Taskbar and Start menu disappear.


After that Control+Alt+Del does not work and neither does Control+Shift+ESC. Basically, I cannot run ANYTHING (new) after this happens. Strangely, I can Alt+Tab to the apps I had open prior to the freeze and close them gracefully, but I have to cycle the power to use the PC again. I keep up with MS and Dell updates. The only thing I can say for sure is that this issue happens docked or not, so it's not the dock.


I really don't want to have to reload this thing. We all know it takes days to get a PC back to the way you need it.


Any help is appreciated.
