So, in short, when I use other apps on my laptop, it's completely fine and no changes happen, but when I click on the windows menu, or anything related to it, my fps suddenly drops on windows like I just installed windows 10 on a 1900's computer, but when I try and use the other apps, it wasn't affected. How do I fix this?

    Hi, OptimisticJay

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    We understand that you are experiencing a problem where using the Windows menu can be laggy, and we suggest that you try the following options first:

    ONE. Perform a clean boot

    The method is as follows

    1. Tap Windows+R and type msconfig
    2. Open System Configuration and select General tab - Selective Startup.
    3. Remove the checkbox of Load startup items.
    4. Go to the Services tab - click Hide all microsoft services in the lower left corner, and then click Disable all.
    5. Click OK and restart your computer. (Be sure to select Hide all Microsoft services first and then click Disable all, otherwise it may cause unforeseen problems such as not being able to access the system.)

    See if the problem still recurs.

    NOTE: Clean boot is a way to start Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if background programs are interfering with your games or programs and help you figure out the cause of the problem. It will help you get back on track.

    Disclaimer: A “clean boot” starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. It helps to determine whether a background service is interfering with your game or program and to isolate the cause of a problem.    These steps of "clean boot" might look complicated at first glance. However, to avoid any trouble for you, please follow them in order and step-by step so that it will help you get back on track.

    II. Try to repair your system

    1. Search for CMD, find Command Prompt and select Run in Administrator Mode.
    2. Enter the following commands one by one, be sure to execute the next command after the previous one is completed.

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    SFC /Scannow

    1. After the scan is complete, you can check the scan information to see if the problem has been detected and fixed.

    Sincerely

    Hi, OptimisticJay

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    It is possible that this has something to do with your computer configuration.

    You can roll back to an earlier version in Settings - Update and Security - Recovery - Rollback to an earlier version.

    Already tried these, didn't work, maybe perhaps it's because im using a version of windows 10 that isn't compatible on my low end laptop, is there any way to go back to an older version of Windows 10?
