Hold the power button and restart it?

But generally

Ctrl alt del
Task manager
Find explorer.exe and end task
File
New process
Explorer.exe

Then find out what addon you have crashing it

I take it you have installed the latest Windows 10 updates and rebooted the machine?

If it's an older computer? There has been a large update on my computers in recent days. Perhaps it's just busy in the background? Give it an hour or two and see what happens.

Lazy is such an ugly word, I prefer to call it selective participation
