Fix Windows 10 freeze of switching to fullscreen on PCSX2 (and other apps)

While using PCSX2 whenever i switched between windowed and fullscreen sometimes windows got freeze and will never respond to whatever keys i press. Had to shutdown laptop using power button. I found this problem is windows problem and faced by many users in various apps. Below is the fixed that worked for me -

Go to Windows 10 Settings -> Gaming

Disable Game Bar fully and now this problem may not occur. If possible disable most of game settings and use only those which don't cause freeze issue. I have disabled all of them as i can use AMD relive to record PC screen. This fixed free on my AMD (A10-9600P APU) laptop
