Product: HP Notebook hp-15-da2012
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I am using hp-15-da2012 Notebook laptop. I have installed all the updates in Windows 10 including optional updates. After the last two updates I am facing a problem with frozen task bar. This issue happens mostly when connected to internet. With the latest update i windows, there is a New Panel with weather forecast. When loading this panel, the whole taskbar including start menu button stucks. Even I cannot disconnect wifi  or open minimized applications.  It takes more than 5 minutes to recover and sometimes I had to restart the laptop. Why is that ? 

 

Could you please help me to solve this issue ?

Hi:

 

The only suggestion I can offer, if that new feature on the taskbar is causing such a problem would be to turn it off.

 

How to Remove Weather and News from Windows 10’s Taskbar (howtogeek.com)

 

I am not experiencing any freezing taskbar issues on any PC that I have with that app enabled.

Actually, I 'm still finding the reason behind that. I don't have exact reason. I guess that would be. 

Could you please guess any other reason for this behavior ?

Unfortunately, I wouldn't know.

 

You may want to consider backing up your files and doing a factory reset of your notebook and start fresh.
