So just recently, like 1 out of every 3 alt tabs, my pc just locks up. It just recently started doing that. Like a few days ago. I can't do anything, I can still hear people and talk in discord but other then that I can't do anything without hard resetting my pc. I am running Windows 10 if that helps.
 
Not that it's any consolation, but Alt+Tabbing from full-screened games, usually DirectX or other heavy graphics API based applications has never been fully supported or endorsed. While the functionality has become less problematic over the years, problems resulting from that are generally not considered priority by most game companies.

If you need the functionality, you might see if you can play your game in borderless windowed mode. This tends to be more friendly when it comes to tasking out of games.

Thanks for the reply, I had read that I should play in borderless window mode. I was just curious as to why all of a sudden it started doing that. I never had an issue with doing it until like 3 days ago.

im beginning to think it has something to do with this IOCagent error [7] ERROR ProviderManager.SecurepayBcaProvisioner - Exception during BCA-SGX provisioning
System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException (0x80004005): External component has thrown an exception.
