Hey everyone! I recently made a post stating that anybody who was experiencing computer freezes/crashes after alt tabbing from valorant should know that it is a bug with windows 11 itself. I stated a few fixes that i believe were able to fix most of my crashes but they did not fix them completely. However, i recently found a fix that i think completely fixes the crashing and it has to due with how windows 11 animates an alt tab. I believe that all the memory from alt tabbing is not being stored correctly, that be with valorant or just any other program, and is causing crashes and full on freezes.
The fix is this
Open Registry Editor, and open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
Right click on the Explorer folder and hit new, then add DWORD value (32 bit)
Type in "AltTabSettings", double click on this new DWORD and change the value from 0 to 1. Restart your system and it should work.
What this does is it disables the animation when alt tabbing. It goes back to the old school windows style of just having icons, but it does not result in crashing. I would leave it like this for a few months, change it back, and see if they fixed it.
