Most of the time Corrupt system files cause a number of problems to the windows 10 systems like blue screen error, the system not responding, apps not open, show different error codes while open explorer or any application.

Disable Unnecessary Startup Services
This is the most working step I found and most of the windows users report disable startup services increase startup time 10 times better. For me also after disabling startup services (especially: Windows update service, BIT service, and superfetch ). Here follow below to disable and set manual startup for this services.
First press Win + R on Run window Type services.msc and hit the enter key. This will open windows services now scroll down and look for the service windows update. Right-click on it and select properties.

Disable background apps
Microsoft is a big fan of its native universal apps, which might be why it allows them to run in the background even when you haven’t actually launched them. That means you can access their features more quickly, but it’s a waste of system resources. And when most of the system resources are used by background apps then also system may cause windows 10 not responding problem.
We recommend to if you don’t use these apps on a regular basis. To modify the software running in the background, go to Settings from the Start menu then click Privacy and Background apps. Turn off the toggle switches next to the apps you don’t want to have running all the time. Of course, you can still launch these programs manually if you need them.
Increase Virtual Memory
Memory also plays a very important role in your system performance. When your system runs out of memory you may also get the system crash, hang not responding problem. We recommend to Adjust virtual memory on your system to fix low memory and system hanging issues. Some users also report Virtual Memory is supposed to act as a savior where the physical memory (RAM) runs out when running resource-intensive programs.
Virtual Memory combines the RAM with TEMP Storage on your Hard Disk. Many users have reported that Windows 10 not responding freezing issue was fixed by increasing the Virtual Memory. You can increase Virtual Memory by following bellow steps.
Press the Windows Key and Press R. Type sysdm.cpl and Click OK. Then click Advanced -> Settings -> Advanced -> Changed. Uncheck Automatically manage paging file size for all drives, and choose Custom Size. Set Initial Size and Maximum Size.
Read how to Adjust virtual memory on windows 10, 8.1 and 7 Computers.
How To Calculate pagefile size
To Calculate the pagefile size always Initial size is one and a half (1.5) x the amount of total system memory. The maximum size is three (3) x the initial size. So let’s say you have 4 GB (1 GB = 1,024 MB x 4 = 4,096 MB) of memory. The initial size would be 1.5 x 4,096 = 6,144 MB and the maximum size would be 3 x 4,096 = 12,207 MB.
After Make changes Then Click OK and Reboot the PC.
