Solved Windows 11 completely freezing up

Hello again everyone!

I seem to have found the solution for the problem. It was indeed the DCOM error causing the complete lock up of the system.

I followed the following guide to fix the issue:

Persistent PC freeze and crash with Dcom 10016 being the problem - Microsoft Q&A

Hi all, i get this event ID everytime my pc crashes (freeze), Dcom 10016 The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {6B3B8D23-FA8D-40B9-8DBD-B950333E2C52} and…

The error still shows up in device manager but the lock up have stopped.

Hope this can help someone in the future.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions!

Scrap all of what I've said in the above.

Half a month later and the problem still persisted, until I found the culprit last week.

It was a pre-loaded app called Planet9 Gaming that came with my Nitro 5.

I previously had some issues with this app and thought about uninstalling just to see if it solved any issues and it seems to have been the answer.

DCOM error still occuring but without any effect.

I hope this can help someone in this predicament.
