Valorant sometimes freezes my entire PC when I tab out of it.

When I tab out of Valorant, there is a chance that my entire PC will freeze. When frozen, I can not do anything but move my mouse. Not even Ctrl+Alt+Del will work and I am forced to power off my computer by holding down the power button. This is especially bad when it happens when a game is about to start and the game warns me about leaving a match.

I was told disabling this fixes the issue. I will say it's fixed if it doesn't happen for the next few days.

My background FPS is set to 10. I think that worked! My PC has not frozen since I changed this setting.

I've got the same problem, and that setting worked, but my stream became very laggy after it so I had to put it on again :'(

Try lowering the bitrate of your stream.

I’ve tried that too :), I turned off the hardware-accelerated gpu scheduling again just to try it and for now it seems to work fine, don’t know why it didn’t last time 🤷🏼‍♀️
