Windows 10: Should I play games with a clean boot?

Hi! I have a PC which stands on the minimum system requirements of a video game. I wanted to ask you that is it a good idea to play the game with a clean boot? It should empty the useless ram usage by other things right? If not then plz suggest what should I do to optimize my system before gaming.

Hi,



It would be great if you can answer the following questions:

• Does the issue occur only while playing game?
• Does the issue occur while using any other apps?
• Are you referring to Windows Store games or Desktop games?

I would suggest you to make sure that the keys are not pressed by mistake. I would suggest you to restart the computer in clean boot and then try to play the game and check if the issue persists as clean boot helps in eliminating software conflicts.
