Computer freezes after pressing t key

[HGBuck]

Just a reminder that everything worked just fine with Norton running until after October 27th. It was after that when this issue began without any changes on my end.

I don’t like to offend people for what they paid for and use. Hard for me to blame Nortin without knowing the fix

But in case of Norton I agree. It’s bloated and over-zealous and can use up major resources that slow a PC. O K if not gaming. But again, I can’t blame it yet.

The biggest issue with Norton and some other antivirus programs is that they're acting behind the curtains. Or at least suggesting actions that an average user doesn't fully understand. Back in the day I faced an issue where only some sites could be reached. It appeared that Norton considered WiFi a metered connection. That was long before Windows became an option to reduce traffic in metered conns. And the setting was in a sub-sub-sub-subdirectory.

Just a reminder that everything worked just fine with Norton running until the last week of October.

Yes, it can happen after any update of an anti-malware program. False positive is the term used for such behaviour.

Not to hijack the convo but

I bought Norton when it first came out. It was considered top shelf. But not long after that it become so bloated and restrictions cut the reason to have a PC in half. It became slow.

Went through a few others like AVG. But they ate so much resources in time too.

I realize the game ran with it on, but it moving it to quarantine is a red flag.

I suggest sending the dmp file and make sure the title sights tech issue. Lit of clues in tha file. I can read part of it, but not all of it.

Sorry you’re having these buzz-kill issues.[/color]

• Enable Silent Mode / Full Screen Mode:
Norton has a silent or quiet mode that stops pop-ups and background scans while you are gaming or using full-screen apps. Right-click the Norton icon in your Windows taskbar and turn on Silent Mode or Quiet Mode.

Check Windows Privacy Settings for the Microphone:
Sometimes Windows or security prompts block in-game voice chat. Go to Settings > Privacy & security > Microphone and ensure that your game or launcher has permission to use the microphone.

Add the Game to Norton Exclusions:
Exclude your game's .exe file and installation folder from Norton's Auto-Protect and Sonar behavioral monitoring so it stops flagging microphone or network hooks as suspicious.


Temporarily Disable Protection (for testing):
You can right-click the Norton taskbar icon and select Disable Auto-Protect and Smart Firewall temporarily to see if the crashes stop.

Ok I just did some testing; The issue does not occur if Norton is turned off. With Norton on it still freezes but no longer sends it quarantine. Thank you Animal for the suggestions!

What created the issue mostly likly is that the game moved, hence it is no longer on Norton's ok list.

Makes sense

For me it looks like the problem was with Logitech software.

I use a Logitech Pro X wireless headset with surround sound,  blue voice and all that stuff.
I got rid of the freeze frames by turning off the blue voice in the software. Can I use range or the T Channel right now  and I no longer get the freeze frames but I still see a little flicker on the screen.

I don't know if that was really a fix but it got rid of my problem. for now.
