Window 11 24h2 Making Games Unplayable

Hello，Sushi_maker

Welcome to posting in the Microsoft Community.

I understand that after you upgraded to Windows 11 24h2, your computer's performance has dropped significantly, and games and video playback have become very slow or even unable to load properly. I think it is likely that the Windows 11 24h2 update may have introduced drivers or power management settings that are incompatible with certain hardware, resulting in abnormal allocation of system resources. In addition, the update may have triggered the performance impact of certain background processes or services such as network adapters, power management modes, and so on.

I understand your feelings very well, this is a very disturbing issue for a brand new device. And since your description suggests that multiple computers with the same configuration have the same problem, it's likely that there is a driver or service conflict with one of the hardware offerings. I would like to ask you to test the following scenarios and hopefully find some more ideas.

1. Adjust the power management program for optimal performance.

Please use “Win+I” to open the “Settings” page, go to “System > Power and Battery”, expand “Power Mode”, and adjust “Power On” and “Battery Use” to “Optimal Performance”.

2. Adjust NVDIA settings

Some users have reported that there are settings in NVDIA APP that may cause the game to appear abnormal, in order to ensure the test environment is as clean as possible, please open the Nvidia App, click “Settings”, and then uncheck the “NVIDIA Stacks” option, restart the device.

After you refer to the above steps, you can share some information in this thread and I will answer your questions further. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

Just tried all of them right now and still no luck. At first I thought it was because I change my GPU and Ram but when the update happened it just made everything slower. My friend like I said also has the same problem but he bought his from NXZT Player One.

My Friend Build:

Windows 11 Home

• NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3050 GPU - 6GB or NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4060 GPU

• Intel® Core™ i5-13400F 

• 16GB DDR5 5200 MHz RAM

• 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD storage space

• 80 Plus Gold power

I used to have the same build as him before I upgraded the ram and gpu.
