Windows 10: Freezing in fullscreen

My Windows 11 laptop often has problems freezing when in full screen applications. When it does, I am typically still able to move the mouse and hear any audio already playing, but can not interact with anything. Closing and reopening does not fix anything, and requires a forced shut down How can I fix this?I'm unsure what details to give about the the device

How do I fix my Roblox Freezing?

Hi, JaylahCM

Welcome to the MicroSoft Community.



Here are some possible solutions to fix Roblox freezing on your new monitor and PC:

1. Update your graphics drivers: Outdated graphics drivers can cause games to freeze. To update your graphics drivers, go to the website of your graphics card manufacturer (NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel) and download the latest drivers for your model.

2. Change your Roblox graphics settings: Try lowering your graphics settings in Roblox. This can help to improve performance and reduce the likelihood of freezing.

3. Disable Fullscreen optimizations: Fullscreen optimizations can sometimes cause games to freeze. To disable Fullscreen optimizations for Roblox, follow these steps:

• Right-click on the Roblox shortcut on your desktop.
  
• Select “Properties”.
  
• Click on the “Compatibility” tab.
  
• Check the box next to “Disable Fullscreen optimizations”.
  
• Click “Apply” and then “OK”.
  

4. Verify the integrity of your Roblox game files: Corrupted game files can cause Roblox to freeze. To verify the integrity of your Roblox game files, follow these steps:

• Open the Roblox launcher.
  
• Click on the gear icon in the top-right corner.
  
• Select “Settings”.
  
• Click on the “Verify Files” button.
  

5. Reinstall Roblox: If none of the above solutions work, you can try reinstalling Roblox. To do this, follow these steps:

• Uninstall Roblox from your computer.
  
• Download the latest version of Roblox from the Roblox website.
  
• Install Roblox and try playing the game again.
  

If you’re still having problems with Roblox freezing, you may need to contact Roblox support for further assistance.

Video Freezes in Fullscreen in HDMI

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for the swift response.

It doesn't occur when HDMI is unplugged.

Usually just Google Chrome. But I tried it as soon as you suggested and the problem does not occur on this display. Same video that freezes can be played back on fullscreen with Firefox.

I had the same problem with the TV at home as the one I'm plugged into now at work, a Dell monitor.

What could be the problem?

Hello,

We appreciate your persistent patience on this issue.

Now, if the results are not satisfactory, I suggest you to check if the same issue occur when logged in through a different Local Administrator user account.



Follow the steps mentioned below:

• Assuming that you are already logged on to your user account in Windows 10, click the Start button.
• From the Start menu, click your name from the top of the left pane.
• From the displayed options click Sign out.
• From the login screen, click to the different user account you want to switch to.

However, if you do not have a separate user account, I suggest you to create another Local administrator user account by referring to the Microsoft article here: Set
up accounts.

Write to us with the results, fro further assistance on the same.

Thank You.
