Troubleshooting freezing issues when gaming

Description

Intel® Iris® Xe has problems with the screen freezing when playing some games.

Resolution

To solve the freezing issue on Intel® Graphics while gaming, try the following:

  • Make sure that your system meets the game requirements.
  • Update your game to the latest version available.
  • Confirm that there is no heavy workload running in the background:
    • Open the Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc).
    • Click the CPU and Memory tabs to check whether anything is using up large chunks of your CPU or RAM (for instance, a web browser with many tabs open).
    • Confirm that your system is up to date: the latest BIOS version, and run the latest operating system build.
    • Install the latest Intel® Graphics driver.
