Possibly irrelevant but I had this symptom many, many years ago (pre NB
8). Eventually traced it to the video driver. Netbeans was putting up a
very long error message when I hovered over a notification and
something, somewhere was out of range. Shortly thereafter, video stopped
updating.

What I get is not a Windows crash in the BSOD sense, but a complete
and utter freeze of the system. Can’t even get to TaskMan via a
Ctrl-Alt-Del – mouse moves still on screen, and I can occasionally
select a window and see the title bar change color as it gets focus.
But aside from that I am completely locked out. Power off button is
only way to recover.
Seems really odd that an IDE like NB could do this – do wonder if it
isn’t NB solo but some collision between NB scanning dir changes, and
me running Gradle manually outside of NB to do builds from command
window. The only time I get this freeze so far is with both of those
open. And I am also seeing a much greater occurrence of Gradle daemon
process zombies since the 11.3 upgrade – which also makes me suspect
that maybe either Gradle and NB are fighting, or maybe that newer
Gradle 6.x builds are a factor here.
Wondering if anyone else is seeing any kind of similar freeze?
