To solve freezing problems on a Lenovo laptop when using heavy applications, the following steps can be taken:

Update drivers and BIOS: Download the latest versions from the official Lenovo site to ensure compatibility with current hardware and software.

Review storage: If the disk is an HDD, consider migrating to an SSD, which significantly improves performance.
Also, leave at least 20% of the space free on the primary disk to avoid slowdowns.

Optimize the operating system: disable unnecessary programs that run at startup and kill background processes with high consumption from the Task Manager.

Manage cooling: Clean vents to prevent overheating and use cooling pads if necessary.

Configure power and graphics: Adjust power settings to “High Performance” and, if you have dedicated GPU, make sure that intensive applications are configured to use it.

Diagnostics with Lenovo Vantage: This free tool allows you to perform a performance analysis and apply automatic improvements.
