    My PC is always freezing when Alt-tabbing or AFK


    So basically I just build my first PC. I have a Win 11 OSRtx 5080Ryzen 7800and a b840 MoBo MSIEvery time I altab out of games, or even just leave the game as it is, it freezes unless I completely force restart my PC.. Should I just roll back to previous Win updates? Is that even possible when I installed it directly after buying an online key? Is it because of the hardware acceleration of the GPU? I'm quite bummed out, building my first PC and this happens.I'd appreciate some help!

    :)

    alt + tab not working

    Just found a really cool way to make alt+tab INSTANT!!!

    In the launch options write the following: -windowed -noborder

    This play exactly the same as fullscreen but now you dont have to wait 30 f*@!ing seconds to alt+tab back in!

    Also you don't get the little purple/black checkered effect (only in Source games) from alt+tabbing in fullscreen.
