Pc freezes when tabbing out forcing me to restart pc.
Hello, I have had this issue for a while were my pc has a chance of freezing whenever i tab out and it forces me to restart my pc. I have tried closing every app besides valorant, updating drivers, reinstalling drivers, but nothing seems to work. Would anyone know how to fix this?

Been an issue for me lately too, think it’s not fixable besides just not tabbing out, typical riot client.
My friend found a fix that I believe has worked for me so far. If you turn hardware-accelerated gpu scheduling in the windows settings that might fix the issue.
On or off?
Not fixable, had talks with Riot support back and forth for a week now.
In the end they couldn't find anything wrong on my side.
It's on their side and I let them know to relay that to their QA team, however this issue has been around for years so probably not getting fixed any time soon, since it's kind of an anomaly issue.
Off
Sorry I don’t know how I forgot to say that lol
Have you tried the hardware accelerated fix before? It seems to have worked for me so far
Nope, trying windowed full screen mode for now, someone suggested this
so far it's been looking good
might try this later though
I have been using windowed full screen for a while
still eventually ran into the issue sadly
I see, well i'll try and see
if you do run into the issue again i would recommend turning off that setting as its seem to have worked for me for now
and this accelerated thing
how long have you had that
no freezes for a couple of days?
or did you just try it
ive tried it for 2 days now
with it off
and its been good
I'm going to try it for a bit now and just keep tabbing out
see if anything happens
yeah sure try it and let me know
I just spammed tabbing out and played for 2 hours while checking other apps non stop and couldn't get it to freeze
I'm like 90% sure it fixed my issue
Alright good to know, I’ll keep it in mind in case windowed full screen mode won’t fix it.
Yo what are the steps to do that hardware accelerated thing, it’s in settings>system and graphics?
Like remove them from there?
Cause I could only remove riot client and not valorant itself for some reason
The windowed full screen didn’t help the freeze issue, tho some of the stuff I tried i think helped, having it less often.
Let me know about the accelerated hardware fix.
Yeah you go to settings, display, graphics, change default graphic settings, and than turn it off.
For some reason it won’t let me for Valorant itself
It let me remove it on Riot client though
I think your looking at the wrong setting as your not supposed to turn it off for just valorant
If you find this button
I went to settings>system>display>graphics
Yeah
Found it
What do I do there
turn this off
Turn it off ok
Gotchu
I’ll try it now
Good luck lol
Hope it works for you
Thanks, hope it does, I’ll let you know in a few days if I get no freezes.
If it gets fixed then you’re my hero 😭
lol I honestly didn't realize how many people had this issue
I thought it was rare 😭
Yeah fr, but like 2 of my other friends never had it so I thought I was cooked.
Same thing for me until like last week when my friend finally had the same glitch and I realized it was a bigger issue than i thought
