I just had to perform a hard boot on my Win11 box as the system decided that I couldn't interact with any window title bar or the task bar. Key shortcuts like Alt+F4 also didn't do anything. I could interact with the contents of any window, but not with the title bar. So Minecraft was still playable, and I could browse the internet with Firefox (though tab switching was weird).

Had a weird one yesterday but more likely to be Google Drive than Win.
An Excel file which I use almost every day, and nobody else uses, reverted back to a version from last January, losing around 200 lines of data. This wasn't an accidental deletion from the end of the file as a second tab contains data that pertains to the most recent entries on the original tab and these are manual entries not automated and they too were reverted to January.
Fortunately, Drive keeps 30 days of copies so I got back the previous day's version. So despite keeping copies that had last-used dates of this week, the file in question claimed it was last edited in January.

Sounds like a Windows Explorer hang. This happens quite often on my wife's W10 machine; use Ctrl-Alt-Del and select Task Manager; then kill + restart Windows Explorer. YMWPV (will probably)

Task manager was completely useless as well, as I couldn't use any of the menu options, and explorer didn't appear in the process lists (even though I was using an explorer window to look through some folders). All of the SYSTEM processes were also missing from the list.

When an app is too busy to respond to its foreground thread, you'll typically see the window content blank out, but you can still do things like resize it and grab the title bar to drag it around and such (since this is the responsibility of Windows, and not the app)...but it sounds like you had the opposite situation, the app was fine while Windows itself decided to take a dump.
Very unusual. You're good.

You are much too kind in your language. My language with Windows has gotten to the profanity point!
Yesterday morning, I sat down at my desk already to try out a new thought. BUT....Windows 10 had decided to to an upgrade overnight, which I didn't know about, and I had a black screen.
Diagnosis steps:
1) Was the monitor plugged in? Yes.
2) Was the monitor turned on? Yes.
3) Was the computer plugged in? Yes
4) Was the computer turned on? Yes
5) Was the monitor cable solidly attached on both ends? Yes.
6) Did the monitor work on another computer? Yes.
7) Could this computer drive another monitor? No.
8) Could I get another cup of coffee? Yes.
9) Could the keyboard effect any changes? No.
10) Power down the computer? Yes.
11) Power up the computer? No.
12) Unplug computer, wait 15 seconds, power up? Yes.
13) Was monitor working during POST? Yes.
14) Did Windows 10 boot? Not for a while?????
15) Magic wait appears--"Updating, do not power off or disconnect your computer"--PROFANITY
16) Rebooting...Do not....Rebooting. Good!
17) Can I log in remotely? No.
18) Can I log in locally? Yes.
19) Why can't I log in remotely? Is Windows Firewall on? YES, turned on for public. More PROFANITY!!!
20) What FW setting changed? Application software blocked! Now I need to go to Confession!
21) Unblocking application software fix problem. Yes.
22) Forgot what I set out to do in the first place.
23) Had a cup of coffee, went home!
Almost 3 hours, one very good idea, and lots of motivation lost to Windows 10 installing upgrades overnight AND changing settings.
Bill Gates OWES me $5000 for lost time.

She never recovered from her son's suicide.
Its been a downhill battle for her since.
I can only hope her spirit is in a much better place.
I can't imagine the emotional pain she endured all that time.

Hi All,
I just asked a stupid question as to why a bit of code wouldn't run, I haven't programmed in Windows for some time. My excuse anyway. Two things caused the panic that caused the question. Just calm down look at what's changed. Sorry!

If I had a nickel for every time I asked a question online and then the answer came to me right after I hit post I would retire still code but only because I love it.

hover the mouse over the person, you will see an emergent popup with some profile info and the pic.
Top is Nickname, below is the "Summon-Tag".
In my case and in your case... Tag and nick are the same.
In case of Honey... not.
To summon Honey you need "code-witch"

Don't feel bad! I just spent 10 minutes trying to figure out why my datatable data doesn't match the query in SSMS only to find that a parameter had changed.

It's the whole thing at the moment of 'Do This' the reply of 'ummm Okay with what and how?' Not least of which is
'how do I get Vis Studio 2022 properly' the answer is 'it cost $45 a month raise a PO', how? This day is
