Windows 10: After a Win 10 crash games fps are low.

Hi,



So, a few days ago I had windows crash where the "Your PC didn't start correctly" screen showed up. After I tried literally all other options I had to go with the "Reset PC" option, this way I could at least keep the personal files, but all non-microsoft drivers are gone.

Before this crash I could run games smoothly. For example, Wither 3 could run on ultra easly. Now it is like a slow motion. Even new games like Shadow of teh Tomb Raider was running at 40+ fps on high, now 10fps is the max. What is strange that even if I lower the settings the situation doesn't improve much. I refreshed the Geforce driver, and windows is also up to date with visual C++ 2017. Also have DirectX12.

Other strange thing is that when I bought this Laptop 1 year ago I didn't really care about these things and everything ran perfectly from the start. I don't think I lack horsepower. I have a Lenovo Y720 with a 1060 6GB GPU, 7700HQ CPU and 16GB of RAM.


Please advise, I just want to play my games like before.

:)

 

Low FPS in games.

Hi,

Corrupted components of your system is one possible reason why you are experiencing FPS drop. Here are methods on
how to troubleshoot low FPS on Windows 10:

Method 1: Switch the Game bar off.

The Game bar is switched on by default. First, switch the Game bar off via the Settings app. You can configure the Game bar’s settings as follows:



1. First, press the Cortana button and enter ‘settings’ in the search box. Select to open the Settings app.

2. Alternatively, you can also press the Win key + I hotkey to open Settings.

3. Next, click Gaming to open the options shown in the snapshot directly below.

4. Select Game bar on the left of the Settings window.

5.Then toggle the Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game bar setting switch to Off.

6. Below that setting there’s a Show game bar when I play full-screen games Microsoft has verified option. Uncheck that option’s check box so that it’s not selected.

Method 2: Update the Graphics Card Driver.

The low FPS issue can also be due to an outdated graphics card driver. Maybe the graphics card
driver needs updating. This is how you can update it in Windows 10:

1. Open the Win + X menu by pressing the Win key + X hotkey.

2. Select Device Manager on the Win + X menu.

3. Now click Display adapters on the Device Manager window.

4. Right-click the listed graphics card to open the context menu, and select the Update driver option.

5. Select the Search automatically for updated driver software option on the Update Drivers window.

6. If Windows finds anything, follow the further guidelines to install the driver; and then restart Windows.

Let us know how it turns out.

I suggest you to go into the games settings and check if the FPS is set to low. IF its low then change it into high.

Also see if the Monitor screen resolution matches the game screen resolution. You can check it by going into the setting of the game and check.
