If you try this yourself, be sure to occasionally check for updates and then re-snooze the auto updates.

I'm also manually checking for updates in the evenings so I don't miss any updates.

So now I am vetting the theory by using the advanced update options to do shorter snoozes of just a day, and observing behavior with the updates snoozed or not. I snoozed updates again and graphics lag/freezes ceased again.

Oddly the freeze wasn't even when Windows checked for updates, but just somewhat randomly after that.

I had no graphics lag/freeze incidents until the day my Windows 10 update snooze expired. (I don't think this made a difference, for the record.)

I changed mice and uninstalled my iCue mouse software.

I assume the clipboard copy is the actual good change here, but since I'm not actively changing my ACT settings often, there's no reason for me to auto-save the config constantly either.ДЄugUpdate: After tweaking the ACT options, the occasional graphics delay/freeze would still happen in FFXIV, so I tried a few more things:

In the ACT Options tab > Output Display > Text Export Settings, I turned off Export to Clipboard after combat.ДЄfter doing this, the graphics freezes were dramatically reduced, but not gone.

In the ACT Options tab > Miscellaneous, I turned off 'Once a minute, automatically save ACT's settings.

There's a great FFXIV ACT Plugin GitHub thread discussing just this kind of situation. Since I use ACT, I started looking at it being the cause of these problems. JUpdate: Even with this change, I would still get periodic 'lock-up' on my PC, which sometimes would cause FFXIV to crash, and sometimes the game would just freeze for a moment and then come back.

Or if you don't have Enhancements, choose 'Advanced'.ДЇrom the Enhancements tab, check the checkbox 'Disable all enhancements'. In the Properties window, select the 'Enhancements' tab. If you don't know which audio device you use for FFXIV you can disable others to narrow it down, or right-click on each choice and click 'Test' to see if it's the right output.

'An unexpected error has occurred.

This post is dedicated to the months I spent mutating and mostly ridding myself of the FFXIV errors and crashes on my Windows 10 PC. However, what I didn't expect was to run into a problem where FFXIV intermittently crashes on my fancy new designed-for-gaming PC. As expected, it was like playing an entirely different game, with better graphics, better frame-rate, and no annoying reboot to Windows in between.

A couple of years ago, I bought a new gaming PC (a super duper MSI gaming desktop) after years of playing Final Fantasy XIV on Windows via bootcamp on my Mac.
