Windows 10: Window 11 screen unable to sync and crops freezes every few minutes

Over the last few months, every few minutes or so, my screen will crop and freeze, and I find it REALLY annoying and don't really know what's going on. This only happens in Chrome, Discord, Notion, and more. I cannot find and resolve this! If anyone can help me, I really appreciate it. I also encounter new bugs from my laptop every few weeks or so and it will make me harder to resolve this problem. ThanksImage 1 shows that screen wont sync properly look under text "pH" Image 2 shows that Roblox and Google are cropped into one screen for some reason. And i can make it them disappear by

Windows 7 freezes for 1 minute

My custom built rig has lately, in the past 2 months or so, been having these spits of freezing. It will freeze for exactly 1 minute: always 1 minute, every time. I can time it down to the second.

The weird thing is that when it freezes, some programs seem to be immune to it. When playing a full screen game, video and audio will freeze (though not always at the same time, sometimes one or the other will lag). Playing a 3D game in windowed mode seems to be immune to it however. Windows explorer and Firefox always seems to freeze, but Windows Messenger (including video call) will work as normal even while everything else is frozen. After a minute has passed, everything is back to normal. It happens at irregular intervals: sometimes it will happen then happen again 30 seconds later, and sometimes I can go hours without the problem.

It's a bit bizarre and I'm not sure what is causing it. The fact that it is always exactly 1 minute makes me think it's some dumb program checking for an update or something, but I can't pin it down.

Any ideas appreciated.

 

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 Check for driver updates: Outdated or incompatible drivers can cause freezing issues.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.

Crop Function Greyed out

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Usually when you preview a picture that was captured from camera app, it should open in the photos app where you can edit/crop it. I would suggest you to try editing/cropping the photos in
Photos app.
As you mentioned that issue occurred after the update, I would suggest follow the steps provided below and check if that helps:



Method 1: Please follow the steps provided in the article: Fix problems with apps
from Microsoft Store.



Method 2: Reinstall the app using PowerShell.

1. Open PowerShell and run it as admin. To open PowerShell, right click on the start button and then on Windows PowerShell (Admin).
   
2. Then type: Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsCamera | Remove-AppxPackage.
   
   
3. Reboot your computer.
   
4. Open PowerShell again and then type: Reinstalling apps:
   Get-AppXPackage -allusers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
   

Regards,
