My Computer freezes when trying to play

[Einmimiria]

Thank you for the update CrystalWitch.

When you receive a blue screen on Windows 10, it usually has an error code of some sort. Do you recall seeing one?

I'd suggest doing a clean boot. Simply open the task manager and select the 'Start up' tab. Disable everything here and restart the PC. This will make sure that no background processes are interfering with the game. Disable any other programs or overlays while playing the game.

Also try setting the compatibility to Windows 7. Right-click on the ffxivboot.exe file and select ‘Properties.’ Then select the ‘Compatibility’ tab and choose Windows 7.

We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!

I heard the notification ping, but the computer screen was frozen so I couldn't read it.

I tried a clean boot before opening the forum page.

I'll try the overlay and the compatibility ones.

I tried, and nothing. I kept an eye on Task manager while playing and 3 programs were taking up all my disk space and freezing the game.
Avast Antivirus
NVDIA Container
Service Host: Windows Push notifications System Service

My computer crashed after the Service Host was at 100% disk space.
