    Windows 10 freezing when alt+tabbing out of games


    So for the past 3 days every time I alt tab out of a game my pc freezes after a few seconds. I can still hear my friends when i'm in a discord call with them and they can hear me, but for the rest nothing works.I searched for a solution and tried multiple things like updating, sfc /scannow, memory diagnostic. someone recommended on someone elses post from 2022 to override the system so I tried that, did not work. So can anyone help me with this problem?

    :)

    Windows 10 freezing after I alt-tab from a game.

    Wait wait wait! I tried to do a clean boot and went into the game valorant and no matter how many times I did alt-tab windows never freeze. Then I decided to play Snow Runner with my friends and every time I did alt-tab out of the game, windows don't freeze.

    Alt + Tab = Crash

    Good evening,

    It appears that Windows 10 keeps crashing whenever I Alt + Tab out of a game and then attempt to go back in. When I Alt + Tab back in I'm met with a black screen. Then Windows 10 freeze and I can't do anything.

    Steps to reproduce:

    (1) Start game

    (2) Alt + Tab out

    (3) Do whatever in Windows 10

    (4) Alt + Tab back in

    >>>Black screen

    (5a) Ctrl + Alt + Delete to end process of game

    (6a) No clickable buttons in Windows 10 (can't even shut down)

    (5b) Ctrl + Alt + Delete

    (6b) Shut down (just spins indefinitely and doesn't actually shut down)

    This is a on a brand new copy of Windows 10 (not an upgrade). My current specifications are below:

    -5930K

    -MSI SLI Plus X99 Motherboard

    -16 GBs 2800 MHz RAM

    -2x NVIDIA Titan X GPUs

    -512 GB M2 SSD

    -1600w EVGA PSU

    Please advise on what is happening and if this will be fixed soon.
