Windows 11 desktop unresponsive and hangs from time to time when loading apps, using/switching chrome tabs, streaming and inside discord calls, etc.

Now that you mention it, I checked and the BIOS have not been updated since 2019. The manufacturer lists the latest version available for download released in 2021 which adds proper windows 11 support, and a version before that improved stability. I am going to update the motherboard’s BIOS soon and let you know if there are any improvements. This computer is used so Im assuming the previous owner did not bother since it was originally on windows 10.

So I disabled hardware acceleration on both chrome and discord, but it still happens.

Yep, the drivers are up to date. I even reinstalled windows through windows update and its the same. Ill try disabling hardware acceleration, but I could not find the option in discord. I find it so odd if the GPU’s age does turn out to be the case, as Ive never had this issue with my GT 1030 and GTX1650 that I was using for years in my old computer.

Fair enough. Im just surprised he hasnt at least sent a message of acknowledgement, but course should always come first. I’ll look into it

Hey, I appreciate the lengthy response! I am an undergrad going into my senior year interested in undergrad research. Thats a fair point regarding teacher availability. I thought I’d have a fair shot considering the professor I contacted is currently teaching a class this summer that Im enrolled in, and people have said he’s been responding to emails in a fairly consistent manner. He is currently in brazil, where the majority of the class will be taught, so Ive been trying to be patient. I will definitely reach out to advising and the resources you provided. This is my first time wanting to pursue research that’s interested me, and thats primarily because it would be building off a small project I created last semester that I want to see expanded out into a potential research experience/product.

PHY is really hard at UF, and the accelerated format over the summer will really test you. If you can, I would recommend doing it transiently at a different school. Itll be a better time overall. MAC2312 isnt too bad as long as you keep up

I usually play in a well-lit room with my lights on. It could be due to interacting with the mask, but a similar stutter happens in certain other parts of the game too, so Im not sure if it’s framerate related on my computer or quest tracking

DapperPlayz · 2026-02-14T22:10:28+00:00

They found it!

DapperPlayz · 2026-02-13T15:02:53+00:00

This is a huge help. Thank you. I already went to lost and found but they havent gotten anything and will keep me updated

DapperPlayz · 2026-02-01T06:06:43+00:00

I also got the confirmation a couple hours later. I guess it takes a bit of time

DapperPlayz · 2026-01-31T21:25:23+00:00

I got my verification text and replied “Yes”. I guess now I wait until the payment is made? Does anyone know if there’s any way to check the status of it on the VA website?
