Issue is back yet again, and repeating those last 2 steps PeterJ gave me is not working this time around. Good news is that I managed to find an old Combofix log from 2014. I believe this may be where my problems started. I think I was having some kind of issue back then that I couldn't solve. I was very frustrated and (stupidly) decided to use that as a last resort, but soon after I started having occasional freezes. Since they were fairly rare, I had just been dealing with it since then, but of course recently the freezes have been happening a lot more then normal. I had totally forgotten about all of that until I came across this. Keep in mind that some of the stuff in that log (as you may have guessed) I no longer have installed on my computer.
