    This only happens on one character. The blue circle will pop up on screen and it freezes for about 10-15 seconds. Does anyone know what's causing this?

    Not sure if it's the same thing I experience occasionally, but hitting Alt+Tab fixes it when my client locks up. Manually clicking between windows doesn't fix it strangely, but hitting Alt+Tab instantly fixes it.

    That said, I've yet to find an actual root cause. Only a fix that works for me 100% of the time.

    I have same issue, will try these recommendations and report on their success. Nearly impossible to run more than one client as often as it freezes.

    It's smart cpu reduction and Windows compatibility mode.
    Remove smart cpu reduction from inside razor, and set it's compatibility mode to win xp sp3.

    Should fix it up!

    And run as admin mode under properties/compatibility tab. Those 3 things should resolve it. Make sure every account has smart cpu reduction disabled, it can be off on one and on with another

    1.) Run razor as admin.
    2.) Run razor for compatibility Win Xp Sp3
    3.) Disable Smart CPU Reduction in razor options.

    4.)
    For Win 8.1 -> 10
    Start UO
    Go to start, type "task manager" in the search box.
    r-click task manager and run as administrator
    In the admin task manager, go to Details tab
    Find the Razor Process, r-click it
    Set Priority -> Realtime

    This last one works since windows will pull some processing power back from application not really being used, so like a second client that is minimized or not in focus. Setting UO to run realtime makes sure all clients are ready to go. That circle "loading" icon happens when a client jumps into focus without priority.

    I've done what all of you said and so far it hasn't done it again. Thanks.

    I did this also but in the client it still shows the priority ads normal and I do use windows 10. Do I set it as realtime in the razor client as well? I still have not had any problems but was just curious.

    Yeah I would set both. No promise that going to fix your problem though, but it seems pretty common sense you would want both of those processes to be in real time. I mean, unless you're just a crafter or something and whatever else you're doing on the pc is more important.

    Ok, after trying everything mentioned here I found a solution to my problem. Alt-Tab. That did it for me and hope it works for @Cheapsuit.

    Thanks @Zaphian! and thanks to everyone for the suggestions!
