  1. My computer freezes everytime I open something in fullscreen


    I built a new computer 2 days ago and kept the same SSD but ever since I have been trying to fix the same problem, every time I open any program in fullscreen window or fullscreen Windows Explorer crashes, and trying to restart Windows Explorer using task manager doesn't do anything forcing me to restart my computer. I have tried everything I could find to fix this from using DDU to clean reinstall graphics drivers, reinstalling windows, editing TdrDelays, disabling fullscreen optimizations, checking for corrupted files using cmd prompt, and so many other things. Still, nothing has fixed it

    :)

  3. How do I fix my Roblox Freezing?

    Hi, JaylahCM

    Welcome to the MicroSoft Community.



    Here are some possible solutions to fix Roblox freezing on your new monitor and PC:

    1. Update your graphics drivers: Outdated graphics drivers can cause games to freeze. To update your graphics drivers, go to the website of your graphics card manufacturer (NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel) and download the latest drivers for your model.

    2. Change your Roblox graphics settings: Try lowering your graphics settings in Roblox. This can help to improve performance and reduce the likelihood of freezing.

    3. Disable Fullscreen optimizations: Fullscreen optimizations can sometimes cause games to freeze. To disable Fullscreen optimizations for Roblox, follow these steps:

    • Right-click on the Roblox shortcut on your desktop.
    • Select “Properties”.
    • Click on the “Compatibility” tab.
    • Check the box next to “Disable Fullscreen optimizations”.
    • Click “Apply” and then “OK”.

    4. Verify the integrity of your Roblox game files: Corrupted game files can cause Roblox to freeze. To verify the integrity of your Roblox game files, follow these steps:

    • Open the Roblox launcher.
    • Click on the gear icon in the top-right corner.
    • Select “Settings”.
    • Click on the “Verify Files” button.

    5. Reinstall Roblox: If none of the above solutions work, you can try reinstalling Roblox. To do this, follow these steps:

    • Uninstall Roblox from your computer.
    • Download the latest version of Roblox from the Roblox website.
    • Install Roblox and try playing the game again.

    If you’re still having problems with Roblox freezing, you may need to contact Roblox support for further assistance.
