PowerPoint Slideshow Getting Stuck on a Slide

A PowerPoint slideshow which has to run for hours is freezing on a slide. It remains stuck on that slide until the slideshow is restarted. This is irritating given that the slide show needs to run for hours. It has become quite a nightmare, and the reason why this is happening is unknown.

Well, this is a common problem faced by many users. When a PowerPoint slideshow gets stuck or freezes, it means that it is losing the focus of the application. In other words, some other application has started, and it is taking away the focus from the slideshow. By other application, we mean automated tools, notifications which pop up, antivirus program, a scheduled task, or a firewall notification. These processes will launch a new program on top of the slideshow which is running. It could have just popped up for a few seconds, but it stops the advancement of the slideshow automatically.

So when this happens, the slideshow is visible but it starts freezing. The only option now is to click on the slideshow with the mouse, and continue to the next slide. However, you can troubleshoot this issue by trying out a few fixes.

• Install the latest Windows updates
• Make sure to check that PowerPoint is not being used by another process
• Fix any issue with Microsoft Office programs
• Check if the antivirus software is up to date

As these are simple fixes, you can try them to see if the problem gets resolved. If none of these methods worked out, then it indicates that the PowerPoint file could be corrupted.
