Windows 10 - Low FPS problems???

Anonymous

I recently upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10. I had an issue with a large frame rate drop when if first upgraded but soon fund out I was missing a few updates that failed to install when upgrading which I then fixed.

Today I started playing a few games and each game had constant fps drops, I've checked for updates on both windows 10 and my drivers but was unable to find any solution. Even right clicking on my desktop for more options takes a second to show a reaction?

My memory usage is close to max as well, before I had this problem today I could run multiple games without reaching close to 70%.

Interesting that resolved the issue.

Telemetry might be another factor.

Click Start > Settings > Privacy > Feedback and diagnostics.

Set it to basic

Click Start

Type: regedit

Right click regedit

Click Run as administrator

Navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection.

Right click and create a DWORD value named AllowTelemetry then set

Press Windows key + R

Type gpedit.msc then hit Enter

Expand Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components

In the Windows Components dialog, find and right-click on Data Collection and Preview Builds

Then double-click Allow Telemetry in the right pane

Choose Disabled and choose 3-Full from the drop-down menu.

Then click OK to save settings

Click Apply and ok > reboot computer

Thanks for the support Andre, I was able to find another post which solved the issue. (Memory leak)

Windows settings -> System -> Notifications & actions -> Get tips, tricks, and suggestions as you use Windows (I switched this option off which solved the problem)

Is there any other windows 10 options similar to this that may cause memory leaks that I should be aware of?

If its custom built, what is the make and model of the motherboard?

First, try restarting your graphics driver:

Press Windows key + Ctrl + Shift + B

If that does not work...

Press Windows key + X

Click Device Manager

Expand Display adapters

Right click the current display adapter

Click Properties

Click Driver tab

Click Rollback driver if the option is available

If not

Right click the current display adapter

Click Uninstall

Check the box that says, "Delete the driver software for this device.”

Exit Device Manager

Restart

Go to Start -> Settings -> Update & security, then Check for updates and install any available updates.

You might need to update the display driver from the manufacturer of your computers website.

If you have an nVidia, AMD ATI video card or Intel HD graphics installed, you can download the latest drivers from their website.

First, determine what type of graphics you have installed.

Press Windows key + X

Click Device Manager

Expand Display adapters

Once you have determined the graphics driver, go the vendors website and search for the driver in the download section:
