    Media overlay causes certain games to lock frames to 30 after KB5001649 update


    Hi, after updating to the newest version of windows, when I use media keys on my keyboard when i'm playing a game, it causes my game to lock up at 30 fps until the overlay goes away. Before this update it was never doing this, does anyone know how I can fix this? I've tried uninstalling the update and it seems to still be doing it.

    Having an issue with Windows Media overlay popup while gaming

    i don't know why it would cause a drop in game frame rate, in which case it may be better if i step back and see if anyone else can offer a solution.

    the only other thing i can suggest is to open task manager and see what resources are peaking when changing the volume whilst playing the game, see if you can find what is using the resources

    Media overlay causes certain games to lock frames to 30 after KB5001649 update

    Radeon Overlay not displaying all options

    Ok, I got a question. The options to hide the overlay are confusing. What are the steps to turn on the overlay in-game? Not interested in logging much at the moment. Is Alt-R part of turning it on/off?
