  1. Windows 11 Computer Locked to CPU


    this is a follow-up to my other postFor some reason, when I try to change if a game of mine uses CPU, or GPU, no matter how much I try to change it to GPU, it ends up using my CPU instead. I've checked task manager too, and EVERYTHING just prefers the CPU. This is even more incredibly confusing, and I don't have much information about why this happens or anything.

    Computer freezes on the lock screen [Windows 11]

    Hi everyone,

    Since upgrading from Windows 10 Professional to Windows 11 Professional, my computer (desktop) has consistently crashed on the lock screen.

    To be more specific, it crashes ONLY when I lock the computer (by using the windows key + L combination) after use. This does not occur when putting the PC to sleep.

    I have re-seated the RAM as a troubleshooting step and have tried using other RAM sticks. I have also tried uninstalling software on the computer that I do not use to no avail.

    Grateful for any suggestions on how to fix this issue without the need to reinstall the OS.

    Regards
