    Windows 11 freezes and becomes nonresponsive during games


    Hello all, I have a Dell laptop running Windows 11 that keeps locking up in the middle of playing games....When this happens it is preceded by extreme lagging in the game, which eventually leads to a complete lockup of the computer, forcing you to do a force power down and then reboot, but I am confused by this.There is no error presented, it just freezes completely, and even the mouse doesn't work, so I have very little to add here from a technical standpoint, but it did just do another Windows Update earlier today, which could be somehow involved.

    :)

    Game Freezing and Crashing on Windows 11 - Seeking Troubleshooting Suggestions

    Hello Microsoft Community,

    I hope you're all doing well. I've recently upgraded to Windows 11 and I'm excited to dive into my favorite games. However, I'm encountering a frustrating issue where the game consistently freezes and crashes at random intervals during gameplay.

    I've updated my graphics drivers to the latest version and made sure that my system meets the game's recommended requirements. I've also tried adjusting in-game graphics settings to lower levels, but the problem persists. It's really taking away from my gaming experience.

    Has anyone else experienced similar freezing and crashing issues on Windows 11? If so, how did you manage to resolve them? I'm open to any suggestions or troubleshooting steps that might help me get back to smooth and enjoyable gaming sessions.

    Thanks a lot for your time and assistance.

    Looking for expert opinions.

    Best regards

    Suzan
