Hi, my computer has been randomly freezing for some reason. After a hard restart everything went back to normal, but the next day the same thing happened again.

When I searched with textinputhost.exe, it seems that there are quite a few reported cases of freezes. However, the solution seems to be inconsistent and you may have to go through a lot of trial and error.
If there is no problem in using it, there is a way to disable textinputhost.exe.

Sometimes things like this can occur after a recent system change or new program is installed.

If you were not experiencing this issue previously you can use system restore to scan
for programs that will be affected if you would do a system restore to an earlier date.

Remove these programs the would be affected if your were to restore your system to the previous
point where your system was working fine.

Reboot and see if the problem persists.

Edit. Just saw this posted if you running windows 11.

Troubleshooting is a detective game. Sometimes I enjoy the process of inferring the cause and verifying the evidence one by one.
However.
That's not the case with the PC you're using for business or when you have something you want to do.
In such cases, System Restore can be a quick solution.:)

Which game? I am just surfing the web while it happened.
Errors in dwm.exe often occur when drawing is overloaded.
For example, when playing a game or watching a high resolution video.
It happens even if the system files are in good health. If it doesn't happen frequently, I don't think it's a problem.:)
