Windows 10: Updated my AMD graphics drivers two nights ago and now my computer and games have horrible Lag

I ran my computer for any corrupt files or if anything was wrong and nothing comes up. But games that ran fine before the update now have horrible lag that makes them unplayable. Is there anything I can do? I have Windows 10 not sure if thats why or if that doesn't make too much of a difference.

Horrible game performance since Windows Update two weeks ago

Ever since Windows 10 installed updates when I shut down my PC two weeks ago, games have had very poor performance. I mean they are unplayable. All games run like shit. Very slow, lots of major lag, and many things do not even load in the games since the Windows Update two weeks ago.

This started happening literally the next time I started up my PC after installing those updates. My games ran perfectly fine before Windows installed those updates. I use this PC and play games on this PC every day so I know what is normal and what is not. This horrible gaming performance is far from normal.

Final Fantasy XIV went from running with really great performance to unplayable overnight when Microsoft installed updates and this game as well as other games really lag and have horrible performance since the update and it has yet to clear up on any game. I cannot even keep up with other players in dungeons because of how bad the game runs now. I do not see AoE telegraphs and I constantly die before my screen even shows it because of how bad the performance is since that Microsoft update. It went from running really well at 10 PM one night to unplayable after starting up my PC at 8 AM the next morning with literally the only change made to my PC was Windows installing updates at shutdown.

I have no clue what Microsoft installed with their update two weeks ago but it definitely ruins gaming performance. I posted the issue on Microsoft's forums, HP forums, Nvidia forums, Reddit, as well as Final Fantasy XIV forums and the forums of a couple other now unplayable games that used to run great. I have not gotten a single response at any of these places. It is as if the update only affected my PC or there is an obvious incredibly easy fix that is so obvious that nobody wants to respond to the problem.

As I said, this was not an issue at all the night before the Windows update, but was a problem immediately following, and it has been a problem ever since.

Nvidia drivers had an update a couple days ago but no change in the horrible performance.

Does anybody know how to fix this or what the problem could be?

 

Computer games lagging badly

Your computer’s sudden lag and performance issues can be frustrating, but let’s troubleshoot and find a solution. Here are some steps you can take to address the problem:

1. Check Network Stability:
   
   • Ensure your internet connection is stable. Fluctuating ping and sudden spikes could be due to network issues.
     
   • Try connecting to a different network or restarting your router.
     
2. Update Graphics Drivers:
   
   • Outdated or corrupted graphics drivers can cause lag in games.
     
   • Visit your graphics card manufacturer’s website and download the latest drivers.
     
3. Monitor Background Processes:
   
   • Check for resource-intensive background processes.
     
   • Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager and identify any programs consuming excessive CPU or memory.
     
4. Adjust Game Settings:
   
   • Lower in-game graphics settings to reduce strain on your system.
     
   • Disable unnecessary features like shadows, reflections, or anti-aliasing.
     
5. Check for Malware:
   
   • Run a thorough malware scan using reliable antivirus software.
     
   • Malware can significantly impact system performance.
     
6. Clear Temporary Files:
   
   • Use the built-in Disk Cleanup tool to remove temporary files and free up disk space.
     
7. Monitor System Temperature:
   
   • Overheating can cause performance issues.
     
   • Ensure your PC is adequately cooled and clean any dust from fans and vents.
     
8. Consider Hardware Upgrades:
   
   • If your PC is aging, upgrading RAM or switching to an SSD can improve performance.
     

Remember to apply these steps one by one and test your system after each change. Hopefully, this will help resolve your lagging issue.

 

Windows lags after updating graphics driver

I just updated my graphic driver to the latest version. AMD Radeon R5 M330 and AMD R5 Graphics. After updating my laptop to Windows 10, it kinda lags and freezes. Idk if it the driver or the update.
