System UI Crashing

[Android Central Question]

I have the Pixel XL. Recently started acting strange. Scrolling starts to get really jumpy, then it won't respond to touch at all, then screen goes black, and "System UI isn't responding" box pops up. I tried a hard reset, and I also upgraded to 8.1, and it's still doing the same thing. Any thoughts? I wondered if there could be an app interfering with something in the background?

Welcome to Android Central! I'd suspect something you installed as the culprit. Does this happen pretty often? If so, see if it still happens in Safe Mode: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/2852139?hl=en

You ain't going nuts. It just started recently happening on my Verizon Pixel as well. OS 7.1. Weird that it wasn't fixed with a format to 8.1.
