Chrome, Edge & Firefox, all crash and the OS becomes unresponsive, I can't recover it unless I shutdown.

Anyone else seeing this?

Update:

A temporary solution is to use recommended display resolution or change to MS basic display driver.

    I tried to go back to an older driver from 2021 and it was still failing the same when using non recommended Resolution. The Nvidia driver fails in a similar way but not as easily as the Intel.

    Both fail when using a resolution different from the one recommended by Windows.

    So I was right then.

    It doesn't matter which driver is used, they all failed with non-recommended resolutions

    except the wireless one.

    Yes I remember that, but I was referring to different brands and/or versions of drivers.

    I guess I was wrong then or maybe I'm confused as usual. 🤣

    Back on this thread. I checked many different combinations on a PC that has both Intel and Nvidia.

    With a single display and the Intel driver, I tried to go back to an older driver from 2021 and it was still failing the same when using non recommended Resolution.

    The Nvidia driver fails in a similar way but not as easily as the Intel.

    Both fail when using a resolution different from the one recommended by Windows.

    Not all the drivers fail, but I had problems both with Intel and Nvidia.

    I cannot fail when I use a Wi-Fi connected display.

    I must've misunderstood your previous posts then.

    I thought that your failures with different drivers were induced by changing the resolution.

    Back on page 4, I replied to you:

    Hi Sibro,

    This is interesting, I tried yet another case using a second screen as wireless display in duplicate mode, and in that case, they both work fine even if I use a resolution different from the recommended one. 🤣

    I even tried 1366 x 768, and in that case, both screens worked correctly without the bug we have seen with a single screen. 🤣🤣🤣🤷‍♂️

    And on page 5:

    B.T.W.

    With the old MSI GT70 Laptop (Non-Compliant) I don't have any issue with any resolution that I select. 🤣🤣🤣🤷‍♂️
