Windows 10: How do i fix when tabbing out of a game my pc freezes?

When I tab out of a game using windows key whether its Fullscreen or windowed Fullscreen my pc freezes. The only way I can get it to begin working again is restarting my pc with the power button and I know that turning the pc off with the power button is not recommended. I would like a actual solution instead of just like playing on windowed as having the window above is very annoying to me. My Parts: Ryzen 7 7700X32.0 GB of ramGIGABYTE G325E1TBGeForce RTX 3070 TiI have also done all windows updates that I could have done at the time posted and updated my GPU drivers with GeForce Experience.

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 Update your graphics drivers: Outdated graphics drivers can cause games to freeze.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.
