Hi @HamzaMu06,

When you have the chance can you try running the Windows System File Checker to see if that makes any difference?

For more info on how you can run it check out the Microsoft Support website. Once you have the chance to give it a shot please let me know how it goes. Thanks!

This problem is happening because of overheating. Your processor and gpu gets heated up after 15-20 mins because it's a huge game and your machine gets to work so much so the pc needs to cool down and your windows locked by itself to recover from the over heating. the solution is repaste your processor and gpu and apply the cooling paste a bit more on the gpu and processor chip. also try to use a cooler under your laptop so it doesnt heat up that much. Your problem will be solved. Same goes for pc. Just repaste your processor. Paste is layer of cooling gel over your processor that used to lessen the heat releasing from the processor. Any kinda game if you find this kinda issue, just repaste and try to keep your pc cool. Thank me later haha just kidding 😉 happy gaming <3
