Does it happen with all wallpapers? Could you try it with the default 3D car wallpaper?

Ok, i appreciate that a dev is taking care of the support.
Anyway, yes the app works fine with the 3d car wallpaper and the LOL client running, but as you're a dev i'll post the bugs happening with ANY custom wallpaper and ONLY LOL client. (I've tried many games, Fallout 4 windowed 0 probs/Fifa 17 windowed 0 probs).
1- As soon as i open the client, the app is still working but the wallpeper is paused, i try to open the app and change to 3d car, but then the apps freezes.
2- The lol client works just fine with ANY base content of the app, or those non workshop wallpapers
3- The app rimains frozen with 34% cpu usage, an almost no ram usage or either disk usage.

Btw , the app is awesome, good day!

PS: If you need something more specific, i'm a coder myself and mybe i can help you with further/advanced things, atlhough i mostly work with os

Mine seems to work fine, is it when a game starts or in main menu?

Could you try to uncheck the "video audio output" option in the advanced settings?

I presume there is a problem with Media Foundation (which is used for videos) in your case. For example, if LOL would make use of the exclusive audio mode, Media Foundation would break down if it'd try to play any audio.

If the above doesn't help you, it might be related to the video itself. Btw, which wallpaper are you using exactly that causes the problem, are those videos at all?

The problem might be audio related, but disabling the audio output didn't fix.
And yes, they are indeed videos and not 3d representations, it might be related to this? Anyway i should be able to try everything on windows 7 tonight, it might gave me some answers related to this vs windows 10.

EDIT:
It's now working after these steps:
1- Disable the audio output
2- High priority windows start

Every wallpaper, now works before and after lol client goes on or off.

EDIT 2:
Now it stops working again, really out of options.
