Indeed. I just checked my Reliability Monitor.
Looks like my PC was partying on Thursday, and the
party stopped when a definition update for Windows Defender
came in.

I haven't seen anything like that before.

Another, when it's not(hardware).

A failure to update definitions, not even worthy of investigation.
- it updated successfully, and automatically one minute later
Working on all your suggestions, but busy with some other problems also.
I'll get back to you all if I learn something.
SOLDVED, I'm 95% sure.
I ran all the online Dell
hardware checks (26 of them they say, for just about every part of the
laptop, including they say a memory stress test) and found nothing, ran
deep scans with Win Defender and MalwareBtyes and found nothing, and
then ran DISM....health... and sfc /scannow, and rebooted, and not only
have my freezes stopped so far, but wrt to the other problem, I left the computer alone 3 times to time out and it slept normally, woke up to 2
presses of the Ctrl button. I think that's proof enough that that
thread's problem is also solved. In the past it went into a limbo state
when it timed out, wouldn't awake and wouldn't shut down unless I held
the power key down for 15 seconds.
For a long time I'd never even heard of DISM, but it seems to have
solved two problems.
AIUI it checks every system file and replaces bad ones. How do they get
bad??? Is the Great American Novel I'm writing going to get bad?
