  1. Game tabs freeze when I open them


    Certain games Halo Infinite, Horizon Zero Dawn, and BF2024 on occasion open fine, and even run fine except for the fact that whenever I open their specific windows they freeze, I can see them running at decent frames when they're in the background of, say, discord or while alt-tabbing but when I actually open them, the game just freezes up entirely. Wondering if this is something to do with my system or if I just need a spec upgrade, namely my gpu 1050 ti, 4gb

  2. Games cause the computer to freeze seconds after opening them for Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for providing us the troubleshooting steps that you have performed.

    I suggest to run the game in compatibility mode by following the steps below and check if it helps.


    • Right click on the ‘Setup’ icon for the game and click on properties.

    • Under Compatibility tab, check the option for ‘Run in Compatibility mode’.

    • Select Windows 8.1 from the drop down list.

    • Click on Apply and then OK.


    Please revert with the result of the issue and we will be happy to help you.
