Closing val freezes monitors

this has happened to me twice now I was playing with my friends, and when i closed the game i could still hear my youtube videos and my friends on discord. HOWEVER everything on both my monitors froze there was a small glitchy block on my secondary monitor another concern is how long it took to shut down. i pressed it, waited a few seconds, nothing happened. i had to press the shut down button 3 times for the computer to finally (fully) shut down. anyone know why this is happening? should i be worried? how can i fix it?

I don't know why my messages got delected. Probably cus of the false ban anyway, if you can't replicate it, then there is no way to troubleshoot it and there is no way to tell whats causing it and if its bad or not

win + ctrl + shift + b resets the graphics card and it will go back to normal (idk if it works for u but works for me)
