My WOW window freezing for 1-5 seconds after switching tab

My WOW window keeps freezing every time I switch tabs. This problem is very recent.
I noticed it started after I started using a macro I found in a corner of forum to switch settings of view distance and ground cluster.
It might not be unrelated with them though.

Thesre are the macros. If anyone have insight, I would appreciate

This is a question for UI and Macro

Yeah, Like I said I wasn’t sure they are causing them or not. Its whole system freezing for a couple sec every time after tab switch windows.
But thank you I will post the same in UI and Macro as well.

This has nothing to do with the macros that they used, and it is not a question for UI and macro, because I am having the same issue, and I am not using any of those macros.

When I tab out of the game, the game will freeze for about five seconds, and it will do a quick Not Responding, and then the render scale will change from 2560 x 1440 to 2560 x 1421, which is really strange.

I have read this on a few threads, and no one ever has a solution for it. If anyone has found a fix, please let me know.

Thanks.

I am responding based on the information they directly provided in their original post:

Their additional reply does not seem upset about the forum recommendation, so I’m not sure why you’re taking up your pitchfork in this thread. If you have an issue on your machine, please make your own thread if you want players to help you troubleshoot. This forum is only supported by fellow players.

No “pitchfork” was taken up, lol. I was just being rather blunt, so sorry it came off as rude. The poster just relayed information that did not really go together. There are multiple forum posts about the same freezing up problem going on.

Also, I did not make my own post, because none of them are being addressed. The general response is from you, and it mainly boils down to you telling people to use DDU and reinstall video drivers…which is fine, but I think the issue lies some place else.

I read somewhere that unchecking “Optional GPU Features” and “Advanced Work Submit” might be causing the freezing and resolution scale changing. I will reply back if this is a temporary fix.

Okay. Unchecking “Optional GPU Features” and “Advanced Work Submit”, did not solve the freezing issue. My game just froze up, and then the resolution once again changed to 2560 X 1421.
