Windows 10: Lagging / screen freezes since about Feb 16th

For two and a half weeks I have had lagging and freezes in programs.- Rainbow Six Extraction gets moments when the screen freezes for several seconds before continuing as normal making it unusable.- Smite and Gunfire Reborn get lagging / stuttering making them difficult to use. While discussing one of these with the company that made the program, I checked my update history. Not counting Intelligence updates for Defender, the last serious updates I had were 2 on February 15th questioning if these updates are the cause of the issues. Here are the 2 updates in question.February 14, 2023-K

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.

 

Screen Freezing up

Andre, thanks for your suggestions. I performed all steps as you listed and it appears that there were

some problems that have been corrected. I will let you know in a day or so if the "freeze" problem

occurs again. Many thanks for your help --- this took longer than I expected!
