A solution to this may be to disable hardware rendering. In the shell&#8217;s pulldown menu &#8220;settings\/rendering&#8221; you can select &#8220;Use Software Rendering (WARP)&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not quite understand what the issue is. I use an Intel ARC 750 GPU to drive my monitor, sometimes running Directx12 applications. A Nvidia GPU is also installed and used as a compute device for AI and rendering work. The Intel card is not too stressed out, running at about 50% load. But I could not use a shell for more than a few seconds before lockup if a DirectX application was running on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hope this helps somebody, somewhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Took a bit to track this problem down as I don&#8217;t normally use Windows and it may only occur to a few people as I found nothing on web searches.
