This started two days ago. I'd be playing or watching a video and suddenly notice the volume slider (by clicking on the volume icon in the taskbar) wouldn't come up at all. Then I'd try doing something else like click some other icon on the taskbar or try to call up task manager and nothing would happen.
The weird thing is that none of the other things I was doing before noticing stopped working: the first time I was browsing stuff on Chrome with discord in the background, discord still functioned regularly and I could still do stuff on the browser while wondering why the heck the task manager wouldn't come up. The second time I was playing, still with discord in the background, and both game and discord didn't crap out or give errors. I wasn't getting any errors, freezes, crashes or anything like that, system functions just refused to work (there was one problem though: when this happened while I was on my browser, new pages or videos would load up infinitely like when there's no connection). I'd turn off the PC by power button and would still get no errors or warnings when booting up again.
I have a pretty beefy gaming rig, I scanned my PC for malware finding nothing, I ran a chkdsk finding no errors and crystaldiskinfo told me status for both my ssd and hdd was good. What could be causing this?
EDIT: the one above is from a forum post I made yesterday, today I noticed that if I let my PC be for a minute or so it resumes working normally and opens up all the thing I clicked on in a queue (for example, it happened again today and I tried clicking on the volume slider a couple of times, open up task manager, and click "restart now" on Classic Shell". Nothing happened for a minute, then it opened and closed the volume slider in quick succession, opened task manager up and then rebooted)
