    With a game running, everything else on pc runs slow.


    Whenever I run games, everything else becomes frustratingly slow. Typing is slow, animations on other programs, discord etc.My pc is high end and has never had any issues before, but in the last few months I've had this issue arise. I'm assuming it was after an update but I'm not sure.The games run great with zero issues. I've been running Halo Infinite at 2k, 240hz no issue. Just when i use my other monitors in between matches its almost unusable until i close the game out.Some computer specs: not sure what is neededOperating System: Windows 11 Home 64-bit 10.0, Build 26100Processor: AMD

    Slow running games

    Hi All

    Just hoping someone can help me with an issue I am having. All of a sudden every single game I run (apart from online) is running so slow that it is impossible to play them. It first appeared whilst running Bigfish games. I have uninstalled and reinstalled
    the game manager 3 times, uninstalled the game and reinstalled twice still so slow I can't play, some other games are also running very very slow.

    Thanks in advance

    Belinda
