for some reason for the past 2 days now i have had a reoccurring problem whenever i start a game it will work normally then once i start to click it causes something to happen where my screen starts flashing between the game and what ever is behind it on my screen once this happens for 10-15 seconds i will get a "application is not responding" message and then it either crashes or repeats it again and again. i know it isnt that the game is to hard to run cause it happens on anything from roblox to way way harder to run games ive also checked my drivers multiple times and theyre up to date

    It sounds like you are experiencing application crashes or freezes when clicking during gameplay. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take:

    1. Check for Event Logs: Look for Event ID 1001 and Event ID 1000 in the application log. These events indicate application crashing behavior and can help identify the faulting module. You can use Debugging Tools for Windows to analyze these events.
    2. Enable Debug Runtime: If you are using Direct3D, enable the debug runtime by using the D3D10_CREATE_DEVICE_DEBUG flag when creating your device. This can help expose common errors as debug output, which may provide insights into the crashes.
    3. Update Drivers: Ensure that your graphics drivers are up to date, as outdated drivers can lead to performance issues and crashes.
    4. Check System Resources: Monitor your system's resource usage (CPU, GPU, RAM) while running games to see if there are any bottlenecks that could be causing the crashes.
    5. Test Different Games: Since you mentioned that this happens across various games, it may be worth testing if the issue persists in games that are known to run well on your system.
    6. Consider System Updates: Make sure your Windows operating system is fully updated, as updates can resolve compatibility issues and improve performance.

    If the problem continues after trying these steps, you may want to consider seeking further assistance from support forums or the game's support team.

    Hi ,

    Does the problem only occur in windowed mode?

    Are you using two monitors?

    Thanks

    Hi ,

    What are your PC specs?

    Does the problem only occur when you click with the mouse?

    Hi ,

    Uninstall all Logitech apps and do the following

    Open the command prompt (admin) and run the commands: sfc /scannow and dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth, wait for the process to finish and restart the computer.

    Then perform a clean boot and if you want to uninstall applications that you do not use.
