Silent mode?

I typed c:\ in the search under all programs, and my computer went into silent mode, then I did it again and it didn't do it? why did my PC do this?

Welcome
It should not have gone into silent mode. If it happened one time, I would think it is due to corruption.
Normal corruption can usually be repaired by a simple boot or using the SFC command, if more serious.

To insure that the cause was not more nefarious, I would suggest a complete anti virus scan
I would also suggest that you download malwarebytes and make a complete and updated scan.
