About this tag
The freezing issue tag on WindowsForum.com covers problems where applications or the operating system become unresponsive. A recurring theme involves Excel 2021 freezing when specific input blockers (e.g., for the "@" symbol or drag-drop) are active, but only during local console sessions—remote desktop connections remain unaffected. This suggests the freezing may be tied to local input handling or driver interactions rather than the application itself. Users troubleshooting such issues should examine input-blocking software, local graphics or input drivers, and session-specific settings. The tag also broadly applies to other Windows freezing scenarios, including system hangs and application lockups.
