PC Freeze with Pro

Y_Chau — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 04:55:04 GMT

ArcGIS Pro freezing is nothing new. Normally I would kill it and restart the app. But this time it froze my PC. It happened after I tried to change symbology. Symbology pane displayed this never seen before message in yellow (attached). This was followed by a complete system freeze. After some time the PC started to whir still staying frozen. Even Ctrl+Alt+Delete doesn't work.

Anyone else?

Hi @ChrisUnderwood

The message itself is not a problem. I got it again and it goes away when i restart Pro. The problem is that the first time when it appeared my PC became unresponsive. I had to push the power button to turn it off and then on. Hasn't happened again since then.
