Windows 10: PC freezes on Minimizing the game by pressing windows key on Win11

My PC is freezing when i press Windows Key to minimize the game i am playing.Not everytime but once or twice a week but on a regular basis. This problem mostly happens when i try to minimize Valorant competitive title by pressing windows key. Though i limited in-game FPS to 450fps.

Pressing right arrow key minimizes/dual screens programs and works as windows keys

When ingame it minimizes the games, when using on screen keyboard it shows it's working as the Windows key, this only recently started to happen and some suggested fixes (like restarting, pressing Windows key, reinstalling keyboard drivers, etc.) don't seem to work.

Hello,

To understand the issue better, I would like to ask some questions:

• Is the issue particular to a game or all games?
• Do you get any error message?
• Which build is installed in your computer?
• Is the issue occurring with Windows Store games?

I suggest you to update the Graphic card driver by following the steps provided below and check if it helps.

• Press Windows key + X and select Device Manager.
• Expand Display Adapters.
• Right click on the driver and select Update Driver Software.
• Follow the on-screen prompts to update the driver.

Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

Thank you.
