VLC media player is very powerful, but it is not a good tools for watching movies in Blue Ray disk.
Is there a freeware application for this task?

Actually just about any player that plays DVDs can handle Blu Ray. I think your problem is more hardware related. You have a heck of a high video bitrate that needs to do 2 things. 1st it needs to be reassembled. Even though there is an enormous amount of data stored on a Blu Ray disk, it's still compressed and Blu Ray disk tend to be produced with large amounts of data dedicated to multi track audio. Leawo player is a free player that claims to be optimised Blu Ray playback.
Just keep in mind you are pushing a ton of audio video bandwidth for a UHD video. That requires a newer multi-core processor and hopefully a separate GPU to handle the video chores. If you are relying on a integrated graphics chip that shares CPU cycles with other on-board tasks that's going to require a more robust CPU.
In short, all these players must decode the video program through the same codec architecture so don't expect miracles from one particular player. (Now you don't have to wonder where the DVD in my handle came from, author of the charter of the now lousy alt.bin.dvdr group).
