    Gaming performance has become awful after Windows Update. How do I fix this?


    For the love of God, help me.


    My specs:

    HP Omen Laptop

    Intel i5-7300HQ

    nVidia GTX1060 6GB Max Q

    8GB RAM

    120Hz g-sync enabled screen


    I've had this laptop for over a year and it's never given me any problems. Unfortunately after updating to Windows 1903 its game performance has gotten destroyed. Games are now very stuttery and strange whereas before they were super smooth. I don't play demanding games either, just old FPS's like Doom and Quake running on modern source ports.


    I've been wrestling with my laptop for like two weeks now trying to fix it but as yet I've been unsuccessful. I've updated my drivers from nVidia, I've tried old drivers from nVidia, gotten all Microsoft updates, I've tried different Windows versions, including upcoming Insider Program builds, and I've now downgraded to 1809 (clean install) hoping it would fix it but it didn't. I don't know what version of Windows I had before the 1903 upgrade though. I'm at my wit's end now... really wish I didn't get 1903 as everything was perfect before.


    I hope you can help me out, thanks in advance.

    :)

    Method 1: Run Windows apps troubleshooter to
    check if the any of the app files are missing or corrupted.



    In many cases, the Windows Store will automatically notify you if there’s a problem with an app and try to fix the problem. If you continue experiencing problems with an app, this tool can automatically identify and fix some problems

      All apps
