It was a Nvidia driver. I rolled back to previous version, as I reported in Feb, and it has been working fine since then.

Thank you for using Microsoft products and posting to the community.
Since the situation you have described (desktop freezing) is often caused by third-party programs that automatically start at boot or at login, please try performing a clean boot first, in order to rule out the influence of third-party programs.
Please refer to this support article for how to perform a clean boot.
Disclaimer: A “clean boot” starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. It helps to determine whether a background service is interfering with your game or program and to isolate the cause of a problem.
These steps of "clean boot" might look complicated at first glance. However, to avoid any trouble for you, please follow them in order and step-by step so that it will help you get back on track.
Tell us the results, and we will get back to you as soon as possible. We may recommend other troubleshooting steps based on that.
Best Regards,

2024-03-30T02:50:19+00:00 In my case, the problem was resolved by replacing the graphics card. My (6 yr) old Nvidia 1660i began freezing the OS about two weeks ago. I tried all the suggestions listed here, but found the answer by enabling and connecting to the integrated UHD 750 card. There were no issues after that, but I needed a replacement card to resume gaming.
