Windows 10: Low FPS on most Microsoft store games.

On games that I have downloaded off the Microsoft Store I get very low fps and constant freezes. When I have another window in front of the game the framerate resumes to over 100, fixing the problem. Only issue with that is I can't play the game with another window in front of it. It isn't a thing with my pc specs as they are: RTX 3060 12gb vram, 32gb ddr4, 500gb ssd, 4tb hdd, i7-10700kf.I have just recently upgraded to Windows 11 and have never had this problem with Windows 10.

Windows 10 and LOW FPS in games

Hello,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

Are you facing this issue with a particular game or with all games?

I suggest you to go into the games settings and check if the FPS is set to low. IF its low then change it into high.

Also see if the Monitor screen resolution matches the game screen resolution. You can check it by going into the setting of the game and check.

Let us know the status of the issue. We will be glad to assist you further.

Thank you.
