PC "locking up" when closing programs, help to suggest solution or diagnostic steps?

My desktop has started "locking up" by which I mean, everything freezes except the mouse pointer (although I am unable to click on anything or even bring up the task manager). This seems to happen when trying to close programs/windows, and the only way to get rid of it is to restart the computer.

I am running the latest version of windows 10, just updated with the big security patch.

 

Can anyone suggest what might be going on/causing this, or even how to go about troubleshooting it. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Didn't they say to wait with that(latest update) if possible? Just thought I heard something like that when it first came out.
