freezing after alt tabbing, closing of the game and loading up of the game

doesn't happen every time, just at random but usually at least once a day. I have done a RAM check, sfc, chkdsk and no problems were found. I have windows up to date gpu up to date and also tried rolling back gpu updates to before the problem started happening and still no change! anyone got any ideas?

Random freezing issues like this can stem from various sources, even if your hardware appears to be in working order. Here are a few things you can try to potentially resolve this issue: 1. Run VALORANT as Administrator: Sometimes running the game with elevated permissions can prevent conflicts with other software. 2. Disable Fullscreen Optimization: Go to the VALORANT executable properties (right-click -> Properties -> Compatibility tab), and check "Disable Fullscreen Optimizations." 3. Adjust In-Game Settings: Set your display mode to Fullscreen or Windowed Fullscreen if it's not already. Lowering graphical settings may also help. 4. Background Applications: Some background apps might affect game performance. Try disabling non-essential background programs. 5. Virtual Memory: Adjust your virtual memory settings to allow Windows to manage the size. 6. Reinstall the Game: A fresh install can sometimes iron out persistent issues. If none of these solutions work, you might want to submit a ticket to Riot Support for more in-depth troubleshooting.
