Hello to everyone.

I have a problem.

I'm away from the computer for say 10 minutes and when I come back, I move the mouse and then everything is blocked, but I can still move the arrow, I just can't click anywhere for a few seconds.

How to solve that bug?

Fresh installed Windows 11 with all drivers ofc.

It's the infamous Location Services issue with 11, especially.

Hello, thanks for the answer.
Can you be a little more precise about what that means specifically?

There's a known issue where when Location Services is scanning, you can't open programs via a desktop icon. Microsoft still has yet to fix this issue.

The widgets get refreshed quite often as they contain updated news. So, it matters little when your installation occurred.
It is a bug that will eventually get taken care of. Make sure that you have run Windows Update, even after your install.
I have not experienced it in Dev recently, but I could be wrong.

Did the fresh install solve the issue ?

In your original post, you mentioned you could move the cursor but everything was "blocked". Forgive if I am the only one who doesn't understand but what is meant by "blocked"?

May be a hardware issue. Check the above link. May want to search for other hardware tests.

Also check Event Viewer and Windows Reliability Monitor for any possible info.
