Windows 10: Can someone help me with the Lag on my computer while playing games?

For the past couple of months, a few of my games will lag so badly randomly that they are unplayable. Like 1 FPS and the only way to fix it is to restart my entire computer. It has happened at least 20 times which is only a few fewer times than I have played games. Thank you for your help.

Card games lagging!

Hi Helena,

If it's an online game, the lag issue may have been caused by your Internet connection. It can also occur due to the game server issue. We'll need to gather a bit more information to better identify what's causing this. Kindly answer the following:

• Have you made any changes prior to this issue?
• What card game are you having issues with?
• Is the issue the same with other games?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far to resolve the issue?

Meanwhile, if the card game you're playing is downloaded from Windows Store, we suggest running the
Windows apps troubleshooter. The apps troubleshooter can help resolve issues with games and applications downloaded from Windows Store.

Regards.
