  1. Computer only freezes in browsers


    My computer only freezes in browsers. It freezes for a few seconds, then the screen turns dark.

    Other things connected to the internet, Discord, Steam, etc. never freezes. And I tried different browsers. But it only seems to freeze in browsers.

    Can someone shed some light on this?

    Hi,

    There may be some browser components that do not sit well with the new updates installed on your computer. Before we can resolve the error, please answer these questions for us to understand what happens:

    • Do you get any error messages when the browsers freeze?
    • Are Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge affected?
    • Does the problem occur when you access a specific site?

    We suggest you delete the browser history, or completely reset the browsers that are affected.

    Let us know if the suggestions fix the problem.
