    Sorry for my poor english, but I think this is the only way I can get someone to help me. Recently I´ve been downloading some new games, and most of them run very very bad until I press the windows key. When I prees it FPS increase from 3-7 to maximum 60-120-200, depending on which game I am. I have a i5 9th gen, GTX 1650 4gb, 16RAM 1TB HDD and 256 SSD. These games are not from Microsoft Store, some of them are from Steam.

    :)

    Random lag spikes

    Hi,

    We would like to know more about your lag issue:

    • What browser are you using when you experience a lag?
    • Does the lag occur in a particular game?

    In the meantime, we suggest you run the System Maintenance troubleshooter. Here are the steps:

    • Press Windows Key + X.
    • Click on Control Panel.
    • Select Troubleshooting.
    • On the left pane, click on View All.
    • Click on System Maintenance to run the troubleshooter.

    Looking forward to your response.

    All FullScreen Games, Get lag spikes on Pressing the alt Key


    Hello, So i am having an issues here.
    Every Game i play in fullscreen ,GTA V,Bf4 Dota 2,CSGO, Skyrim and all other game Lag on pressing Alt,
    I go from 60fps to 45 each time i press it,
    The thing is if i play in Windowed Borderless everything is fine, it was doing the same thing with my previous video card gtx 770 and now i have 980,but it's was not doing it on Windows 7, I use alt most of the time to speak online via Ventrilo or Teamspeak3,
    Yes i try to change my teamspeak key to something else or try my game without any voip and i still get the lag,

    it is weird and i really need to find why it does that.
    any idea?

    My setup is
    CPU. FX 8350
    MB, Sabertooth v2.0
    Memory 16GB G.skill
    GTX 980
    PSU 750 TX
    WIN 10 pro 64bit

    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.
