  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.

  4. My computer lags when plugged in, specifically when playing a game The Sims.

    Computer makes buzzing and lags my games Windows 10

    Hi,

    This issue may arise due to: outdated drivers or third party conflicts.

    In order to help you better, could you please confirm a couple of things.

    • What is the make and model of the computer?
    • How are you playing the game? Is it through app or online game?
    • Do you get any error message while playing the game?
    • Is this issue specific to particular game or all?
    • Have you made any changes to your computer prior to this issue?

    I suggest you to follow the below methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1: Follow the below steps.

    Steps 1: I suggest you to install all the latest pending Windows updates as below and check if it helps.

    • Go to “settings” and click on “update and security”.
    • Under tab “Windows update”, click on the icon “check for updates”.
    • Then once you find the pending updates install it and check.

    Step 2: I suggest you to place your computer in Clean Boot state as below and check whether the issue persists or not.

    Clean Boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue.

    Follow the article How to perform a clean boot in Windows in the below link and check if it helps:

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows - Microsoft Support
    (Applies to Windows 10 as well).

    NOTE: Once you perform clean boot do refer to the section
    “How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting” to boot the computer in normal mode.

    Method 2: I suggest you to Update display drivers
    and check if it helps.

    To Update display driver, please follow these steps:

    • Press Windows + X keys and click
      Device manager.
    • Click to expand Display adapters, right click the adapter and click
      Update.
    • Restart the computer and the basic driver will be updated automatically.

    If still the issue persist then I suggest you to download the install the Display drivers from manufactures website for Windows 10 and check if it helps.

    Please get back to us with an update on this issue, we will be happy to assist you further.

    Thank you.
