Software freezing during use
4.5
The application stops responding to clicks or keyboard input while you are working.
Symptoms
- "Not Responding" in title bar
- Spinning cursor
- Screen turns white/grey
Possible Causes
- High resource usage
- Deadlock in code
- Large file processing
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Wait it Out
Sometimes the app is just busy processing a heavy task.
2
Force Quit
Use Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) to end the process.
3
Disable Hardware Acceleration
If available in settings, turn it off to reduce GPU-related freezes.
When to See a Technician
If it freezes at the same percentage every time, the file you are working on might be corrupted.
