Windows 10: I have a bit of lag with my new keyboard .

Hello . yesterday i bought a blue backlight mechanical keyboard for my laptop , and an usb hub , because my laptop has 2 ports , i was using one of them for the laptop cooler , and the second one for my illuminated rgb mouse . Now , im im using a port for my mouse and the second one for my usb hub ( i plugged the blue illuminated mechanical keyboard and the cooler in the usb hub ) . Now it looks like i have a bit of lag in rainbow six siege , maybe in some other games too. Is this caused by the keyboard? I have a bit of lag and fps loss . By the way my power plan is set to high performance and my laptop is always plugged in. The keyboard doesn't require any driver , by the way . And sorry for the wrong topic i was not able to find something better.

:)

 

Random lag spikes

Hi,

We would like to know more about your lag issue:

• What browser are you using when you experience a lag?
• Does the lag occur in a particular game?

In the meantime, we suggest you run the System Maintenance troubleshooter. Here are the steps:

• Press Windows Key + X.
• Click on Control Panel.
• Select Troubleshooting.
• On the left pane, click on View All.
• Click on System Maintenance to run the troubleshooter.

Looking forward to your response.

 

BG processes cause keyboard shortcut lag


Update, as of 12/5/15

After considerable experimentation it appears that the lag will occur when a STORE or (system) SETTINGS app (Calculator, for example) or "store" itself is listed in Task Manager background processes. Kill the process, and the lag vanishes. When the app is actually running, it is listed under APPS, not background processes. Then at random times, often after a sleep cycle or at boot, it will spontaneously appear as a background process - Calculator, Store and possibly others.

Speculated causes of this annoyance are discussed in this article and its embedded links... https://superuser.com/questions/426947/slow-windows-desktop-keyboard-shortcuts/957210#957210 where "Helen" posted a workaround...

Disable SUPERFETCH. Click START, type "services", <enter>, double-click on SUPERFETCH. Stop it. Disable it.

No performance hit has been noted by doing so, and shortcuts launched via keyboard no longer lag. Fingers crossed.

 

IE11 Lagging

I did all steps as outlined. IE is a bit faster, but the lagging is still there in regular browsing. If I use InPrivate browsing, it works fine with no lag.
