Computer completely freezes in screen record selection UI.

When I try to stream on Discord, every so often, my entire computer freezes in the screen selection menu. Best way I can explain it is by showing this screen recording I somehow managed to take.


I have a feeling it's when I start a stream too quickly, aka press a few specific buttons in a specific order too fast. This looks like a MacOS UI, which is why I am not contacting discord but sending a post here.


My entire screen freezes, I can still use the F1-12. Inputs like cmnd + Q don't work, I can't open apps or interact with apps or interfaces. Only way to fix this frozen screen is to entirely restart my computer by holding the power button until the computer shuts off, and then turning it on again.
