Microsoft Games Very Laggy

Recently the Treasure Hunt game has become extremely laggy. I will click on a spot and it will take 2-3 seconds before the character moves to it. It's not the internet connection, because it happens both at school and at home. I can't try it on other
Windows 10 devices because everything else I have is Windows 7 (and no, I'm not upgrading them just to test a game lol). Has anyone else encountered this and if so what did you do to fix it?

::Edited:: Just tried playing the Solitaire game collection, and yup, it's laggy as all heck, too. What is going on??

 

Laptop gets extremely laggy randomly

Hi,

My laptop which is running windows 10 will randomly get extremely laggy and will only go away after about 30 seconds of waiting or by unplugging and replugging in the power cord. This tends to happen when I'm gaming, but has happened with all kinds of apps. When I'm gaming it happens very often, every 10 minutes or so. I open task manager to see if anything is being used at 100% but the only thing that seems wrong is the application I'm currently using will spike to high power usage, the ram, gpu, cpu, and disk are all fine. I have a high end gaming laptop so it should have 0 issues running the games I do. Additionally, I make sure the power plan is always set to high performance.

Any suggestions for how to fix this issue?

 

After random update,I am lagging EXTREMELY hard on my games.

To check which updates were installed recently follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• Go to settings and click on “update and security”.

After the Windows update if the computer as not restarted then you might face issues, so I suggest you to restart the computer and try to play the game and check if the issue persists or not.
