Fast Even with Windows 11 but Videos Freeze System

Setup and installation of software has gone smoothly. The machine is fast, even with Windows 11. Boot speed is incredibly fast. The main problem is that videos, e.g. from YouTube or other embedded links, randomly freeze the system such that a reboot is required.
Purchased this OmniDesk to replace a 10+ year old HP Envy which did not meet requirements for updating to Windows 11. I chose this version because it allowed me to figure it for more RAM, more SSD and an upgraded processor. I wanted a desktop with sufficient capability to handle current and future applications and updates/upgrades. To date, I had no issues with setup or loading in applications. Have to admit I am not a fan of Office 365 being a web based subscription service (versus prior versions of Office which resided locally) or McAfee (as an organization, after having "issues" with their automatic renewal process). I will be evaluating alternative office suite software and I am still deciding about McAfee.
From start to finish, this is probably the most easy and efficient HP unit that I have used. It’s obvious that the technology in this unit for surpasses previous units that I’ve had. I would highly recommend this unit to anyone that’s looking to upgrade.
So far this is an excellent computer. It is a really good product for the price and has lot of high-level features, like memory, speed, etc. I highly recommend this product.
Performance is better than my 10-year-old HP Windows 10 PC. My only complaint is that the new PC's power button sticks, so that I must use a thin blade to retract it each time I press it.
I have been a HP user for many years. I was very disappointed with my latest purchase. It didn't function upon first use. I'm having to send it back for repair before I ever got to use it.
