System freezes when switching users

Perhaps this will;

Please see the items listed under Known issues and solutions of Stable Update 2024-10-10.

Specifically, look for the following heading:

  • KDE Plasma hangs on Shutdown, Restart and Logout

To save you having to search too much, the workaround is to change your session settings:

System SettingsSessionDesktop SessionSession Restore:

Change “On login, launch apps that were open” to:

  • Start with an empty session

Edit:- You may need to do this for every User of the system.
