    Video of what is happening ^


    I realize that the lag only occurs whenever the % on the task manager is being updated.

    This happens in discord, skype, TeamSpeak, or just voice recording.


    I have a Lenovo 720, I found a similar issue from 2 years ago:

    Is this an issue only on 2-in-1/Lenovo laptops?


    It was fixed for a bit but after an update, it came back I don't know the time frame for this.


    I have already uninstalled/reinstalled microphone, sound, audio, and keyboard drivers.


    Some other information:

    BIOS Version: LENOVO 1YCN40WWV2.07, 5/25/2018 / UEFI


    I have Intel Graphics Card, not NVidia

    Windows Version: Version 10.0.19041 Build 19041 I am part of the insider program, but this issue has been happening long before it so it is not the new updates that are causing this


    Thanks in advance.

    :)

  3. 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.
