Seen the same for Steam and Nvidia overlays, too. Just something about frickery with overlays. Keep them all turned off.

I always have task manager open now and with the "always on top" setting on because of this fricking shit
when this happens, hold ctrl+alt+dlt and when the screens pops up with options don't pick open task manager, pick sign out or switch user and then as it says it's signing out hit cancel. This usually closes whatever was frozen for me quickly although it may have also closed some other stuff you had open. Obviously task manager is the way to go most of the time but if that or alt+f4 doesn't close whatever is fricked up, this works for me when those two don't. Worst case, you fully sign out and sign back in and carry on. Better than having shut down/reboot or something.
Just check the options in game. I've noticed more games have an option to turn off audio when it's not focused recently.

A GAME WITHIN A GAME
LUDO I DARE SAY
My monitor has a red line running through it
I don't know how to fix it, but it's not there always so there must be a way
found a tech support thread saying if you press firmly on the bottom of the monitor where the red line is it might actually fix it
Thanks, anon
Gonna try it later.
It's so weird that there is the a lot of repair shop for monitors
I guess most people's just buy tvs

my favorite weird bug fix will always be early hotline miami where it had a problem where the music wouldn't play sometimes. the fix was to go into services in task manager and disable the printer spooler
How the frick does that work?
no idea but it fixed the problem for me so I know it was legit
Windows drivers still do some wack ass shit.

You deserve everything you get and worse.
Listen, I want to play Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2017). What do you want from me?

Fricking nVidia.
>game stutters like hell

I had games with the opposite effect, where it'd stutter regularly simply if there are controllers plugged in. As if they game had a shitty means of polling for input devices.

its some fricked shit where the game will always prioritise whatever monitor is closest to the native or default resolution of the game- before startup so ingame options dont change it.
it happens to me in some games like Kenshi except it doesnt switch monitors itll literally just turn itself into whatever resolution it wants taking up a small section of my main 42" monitor so i have to alt enter to get real fullscreen
>play most games borderless windowed on one display of a dual-monitor setup

Shame there's no real fix to this while maintaining borderless, especially in twitch-heavy games.

what the frick
Steam likes to jack your controller inputs and wrap them just for the games that don't natively support them on Steam itself, which in turn also affects how the controller is read by non-Steam games. It's dumb, had to outright disable it for unrelated games myself.
Yeah, using retroarch was impossible with Steam since every input happened twice.
