PC Freeze, Recording has been stopped after encountering an error
Ever since I turned on Steam Recording I'm experiencing PC freezes, especially after quick ALT+Tab but it can happen anytime. If I turn on Counter-Strike 2 and keep it or close it without killing Steam recording process I will at random get PC freeze for 30 seconds up to 3 minutes. During this period my PC "runs at 1 frame per 10 seconds". I don't need to have constantly opened game to experience this bug. Oftently after this freeze appears, I will see a pop-up window saying "Recording has been stopped after encountering an error". Here are all specifications of my PC, drivers and steam recording settings:

PC:
CPU: AMD RYZEN 5 5600 -- no OC, no undevolting
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT -- no oc, no undervolting. Drivers: AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 25.3.1 Release Notes
RAM: 32 GB 3600MT/s, Dual Channel, Profile XMP
SSD: Lexar 710 1Tb PCIE 4.0
MOBO: B550 Gaming X V2, updated BIOS
System: Windows 11 Pro 24H2 64x
Steam Version: 1745269938

Steam recording settings:
Record in Background
Saving last 90 seconds
Length 5 minutes, medium quality
Saves files at same partition as system, steam and Counter-Strike
Enabled GPU hardware encoding
Disabled HEVC H.265 codec
Max framerate: 60
No maximum video height
Microphone sound on
Microphone mono off
Automatic Gain control On
Only Game Audio

Hope all information will help resolve the problem. Killing Steam process usually helps, most of the time happens when switching between Discord, Chrome, Calculator and Game (if game is still turned on)
