  1. PC turning off when I play games and watch something


    Hey! So when I play any game and watch anything youtube, netflix ect my pc will freeze, two screens turn off, but the sound stays for a short time then needs to be reset. The RstMwService service terminated with the following error: %%2684420176This comes up before it happens, I've searched everything, I find different answers like "intel drivers" or start certain services. I changed my GPU from a GTX 1660 Super to my RTX 3060 TI The power isn't different, but since I updated the GPU drivers to 537.42 I've had nothing but this issue. I uninstalled to 5

    :)

  2. play games on my pc

    Hi Lisa,

    In order to assist properly, kindly answer the following questions:

    • On which website are you trying to play the game? What is the title of the game?
    • Have you tried using other browsers like Edge?
    • What error message are you getting?
    • Can you provide more details on the troubleshooting steps that you have tried so far?
    • Are you experiencing that same thing using other PCs?

    Your response is highly appreciated.

    Windows 11 Screen Saver activates while playing games/watching videos

    Hi!

    I have a new OLED TV as my PC monitor, so using a black screen saver is a MUST for me. So do not suggest me "turning of screen saver".

    I have a problem with it working. Sometimes it does not activate when it shouldn't, but sometimes it does. While playing a game and watching a cutscene or just watching a youtube video, screen saver activates.

    How can I fix this issue?

    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you for the update. Let us further isolate this concern, by disabling Game bar and Game DVR. To do this, you may follow the steps below:

    • Right-click the Start button.

    • Click Settings.

    • Click Gaming.

    • Click Game bar.

    • Click the switch below Record game clips. Screenshots, and broadcast using Game bar so that it turns
      Off.



    How to disable Game DVR


    • Right-click the Start button.

    • Click Settings.

    • Click Gaming.

    • Click Game DVR.

    • Click the switch below Record in the background while I'm playing a game so that it turns Off.

    If the issue persists, I suggest that you create a local user and check if the same issue will occur.

    Keep us updated.
