    Is there any possible fix to programs freezing when I alt + tab? Whenever I try to alt tab between tabs (for an example chrome and any other fullscreen program, the program running in the background stops playing videos or freezes completely). The biggest problem is that whenever I want to stream a game for my friends via Discord the video quality drops and the framerate drops to around 20 fps or even lower. Any possible fixes?

  2. Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

    Windows Creator Update Freezes Some Programs when typing

    Thanks for the reply. Since the Creator's Update is giving you some issues, we suggest reverting back to the previous update. Here are the steps:

    • Open Settings window.
    • Click Update and Security, then Recovery.
    • Select Get Started, under Go back section.

    Once done, it will restart your PC. After the restart, please do check if you'll still experience freeze moments on any programs you are working on.

    We're looking forward to your response.
