Windows not responding

[Tamarisk]

Windows not responding, due some program hungs up. Run IE, and some other
applications on background(antivirus).
Then do Restart. Can the restart cause any hard disk errors, due to
improperly shutting down?

thanks.

Can you run in safe mode?

Can you run in the last known good configuration?

Hello,

Depending on at which point your system was restarted. Most of the times,
restarting abruptly causes only minor file corruptions.

However, sometimes, the system may fail to boot up possibly. So avoid
restarting your system abruptly. If you have to, close whatever programs you
are able to using Task Manager before restarting.

Which files can possible get corruptions? Files of programs that was active
at the restarting moment, or any files stored somewhere on hardrive( exe,
mp3, rar, etc)?

Hello,

I can not help you in the specifics, as I am not sure myself. I have seen
systems that were powered off abruptly and restarted with the infamous
UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME error which needed more time to fix than the normal
corruptions.

The bottom line is to avoid restarting the system abruptly. Use the SHUTDOWN
command if you need to shut a system remotely, You can even press and
release the power button on the system and the system should start shutting
down.
