Software conflicting with another app
4.5
Two programs cannot run at the same time because they fight over the same resource.
Symptoms

- Overlay conflicts
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Disable Overlays
Turn off Discord, Steam, or GeForce Experience overlays.
2
Clean Boot
Use msconfig to disable all non-Microsoft services and see if the conflict persists.

Check for Shared Drivers
Ensure two apps aren't trying to control the same hardware (like a webcam).
When to See a Technician
Common conflicts occur between two different Antiviruses or two different RGB lighting controllers.
