    Screen freezes when clicked on About in Setting of windows 11


    When I go to Settings\System it opens on the Display tab at the top of the tab list. When I click the About tab the System screen freezes. No other tab will open but I can close the System screen. However, the settings button in the start list no longer launches the Settings screen. Other tabs seem to work fine.

    :)

  2. Windows 11 Screen Freezes

    Hi, etoile230

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community.



    I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing screen freezes on your Windows 11 tablet. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the issue:

    1. Check for driver updates: Outdated or incompatible drivers can cause freezing issues. Visit the manufacturer's website for your tablet and look for driver updates specifically for Windows 11. Install any available updates for your device.
    2. Disable unnecessary startup programs: Some background applications may conflict with the system, causing freezes. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open the Task Manager, go to the "Startup" tab, and disable any unnecessary programs from starting up with your device.
    3. Perform a clean boot: A “clean boot” starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. It helps to determine whether a background service is interfering with your game or program and to isolate the cause of a problem.

      Disclaimer: These steps of "clean boot" might look complicated at first glance. However, to avoid any trouble for you, please follow them in order and step-by step so that it will help you get back on track.
    4. Scan for malware: Malware can also cause system instability. Use a reputable antivirus or antimalware program to scan your tablet for any infections.
    If the issue persists after trying these steps, it might be helpful to contact the manufacturer's customer support or visit a service center for further assistance. They can provide specialized guidance based on your specific device model.

    Best Regards

    Setting the default input method for the Windows 10 login screen

    I had the same question but with French being the default on Windows 10 rather than the one I wanted so I ended up here.

    HoD is very close. I was able to use his suggestion to find the solution for me. This solution uses your current display and input language to change the Welcome screen and possible for new user accounts if you want. So make sure you have the display and input settings while logged in that you want to apply to the login screen before doing the steps:

    1. Click the language on the Taskbar.
    2. Then click Language preferences.
    3. At the bottom under "Related settings," click "additional date, time, & regional settings" which opens the control panel
    4. Click the "Region" option
    5. Then go to the far right tab "Administrative". (HoD's step 2)
    6. In the "Welcome screen and new user accounts" click copy settings. (HoD's step 3)
    7. Tick "Welcome screen and system accounts" (and "new user accounts" if you want it to be applied to those as well). (HoD's step 4)
    8. Click Ok. (HoD's step 5)

    I was able to use HoD's suggestion to find the solution here. It's for Windows 8.1, but works on 10 so far.

    Hope it will help you, too!

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
