Hello! I've experienced some minor freezing issues in Valorant recently. Usually it lasts only a few seconds, but sometimes the screen freezes completely. When I take a screenshot with Lightshot, the whole process stops abruptly. My mouse and keyboard stopped working, but I didn't see any error messages. Eventually, I had to shut down my PC using the power button. After the freeze, I noticed several peripherals might have disconnected—like when I switched to a different microphone on Discord during the incident. It seems like my system couldn't keep up for a short time. I checked the event logs but didn’t find anything unusual. The only notable event was an unexpected shutdown when I restarted. My main concern is figuring out where the problem began. I haven’t updated graphics drivers recently, though I remember some Windows updates were applied. There’s a bit of suspicion about Vanguard affecting my PC, but I’m not sure. Any suggestions on how to diagnose and fix this?
