I'm one of the few people who's their desktops started acting funny on them after upgrading to 15.6, my problem was that the desktop would freeze at random occasions, anyway, I created a custom command in the keyboard shortcut menu on the control center and that is:
  1. pkill -9 deepin-wm && deepin-wm
Copy the Code

What this does is kill the current window manager and start it up again which doesn't take a second. That way your desktop will be able to recover itself without having to logout or shutdown, causing you to lose your progress. Personally I assigned the command to ( Super + R ) or ( Windows key + R ), you can use any other combination as long as it isn't used before. Good luck and if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask.



I think it would be quite helpful if this was pinned for future visitors till the desktop is more stable, just sayin'.
