Description
Whenever I full screen anything my screen freezes, whether it be a game in desktop mode that's fullscreen/borderless or simply going fullscreen on a YouTube video.
In games on desktop mode pressing the Steam button on my Steam Controller to open the Steam Overlay unfreezes the screen but the moment I close the Overlay it becomes frozen again
Games in Game Mode do not have this issue but for a particular game it uses third party programs that I can not get working correctly in Game Mode.
This is on a Desktop PC using a Radeon RX 6700XT and a Ryzen 9 3950X

Research direction
Start by reproducing the fullscreen freeze on the reported desktop PC with a Radeon RX 6700XT and Ryzen 9 3950X. Compare fullscreen and borderless games with YouTube, and compare Desktop Mode with Game Mode; done means fullscreen use no longer freezes the screen.
