Windows 10: Windows 11 Issues Gaming/Performance

Very long but I want to be as detailed as possible for helpful feedbackJust had windows 11 update but it's giving me difficulties. This is mostly b/c it greatly interferes with gaming, but also whenever accessing Microsoft Edge my screen becomes static bars & it takes at least 10 tries to close it to which then affects visual quality of my computer thereafter for about 10 minutes or longer. Everything becomes blurry until I eventually have to turn my computer on & off again. This happens each & every time I open Edge.For the gaming portion – my game relies heavily on cursor use

Performance issues during gaming in Windows 10

Hello Cody,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

To be able to understand the issue better, let us know the relevant error messages which can help us to ascertain the cause of the issue. Also, what is the make and model of the computer you are using?

Now, here a few important points that can help you.

• PC games will generally have two sets of system requirements, the ‘minimum’ and the ‘recommended’. So it again depends on the game and how much PC resource it needs to run at optimal performance.
  
• Next, certain performance tweaking/monitoring programs may seem to help, but it is only as good as a separate program running in the background. Few third party antivirus/firewall programs may also cause such issues.
  
• Apart from the dedicated graphics, a lot of other considerations are also there to make. Few of them are:
  
  CPU performance
  
  Hard Disk- SSDs are known to perform better in terms of read/write operations
  
  RAM memory and speed
  
  Sound Card
  
  So, it is not possible to give proper benchmark in terms of gaming
  using any particular hardware aspect.

As an initial recommendation, I suggest you to place the computers in a Clean Boot state and run the game.

It helps to identify if there are any third party application/software to be causing the issue.

A clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program.

How to perform a clean boot in Windows

Note: As the article is designed for Windows 8.1, Windows 8 and Windows 7. Unlike launching step for 'System Configuration', options and steps to Clean Boot are same for Windows 10.

Disclaimer: Please go through the section: How to reset the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting with clean boot of the Kb article to boot the computer in normal startup after fixing the issue.
