Alt+Tab Freezes Display

I recently purchased a PC (Radeon RX 6600XT & Ryzen 5 5600G) and overall things are fine. However, if I am playing a game and listening to a video or audio and alt+tab out of the game (in borderless windowed mode) to adjust the video - the entire display just freezes. The game and audio of the browser continue to play and I can interact with the browser (i.e. when I scroll, then the display unfreezes I am then at the bottom of the page despite not seeing anything as I interact). My previous PC had weaker specs and could do this with no problem so I'm not entirely sure what's going on - but I was hoping someone would at least have some troubleshooting for me to attempt to hopefully combat this.

Facing a simillar issue with a multiple display setup.
I'm having random freezes on the main laptop display, but any audio from the app is transmitting fine.
I can even move the window from the frozen display to the secondary one (win key + arrows) and it's responding fine.

I recently built a system here with a Kingston 1tb SSD, Ryzen 5 5600G, two Kingston KF3200C16D4/8GX memories, an ASUSTeK TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS mainboard that came with the Ryzen kit plus mainboard. I have updated drivers directly from the ASUS and AMD pages, with the latest original Windows 10 update, with the Adrenalin Edition software installed. The memories are configured in the BIOS for automatic frequency adjustment, the bios chose 2400mhz.
The BIOS version of this asus b550m-plus is 3205 2023/09/04, the latest is 3404 Version 3404 16.11 MB 2023/10/30.
And then what happens: Sometimes, when I press ALT + TAB in a browser game or for any other task, everything freezes, absolutely everything, the image freezes and then just using the Power button. Several times it was an old, light game. Windows still responds via indirect command over Ethernet, but it still hangs.
What can I do? What could this problem be? Will I need to update the bios or is it another factor?

Sincerely,
