Hi Jay,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I'm Hahn and I'm here to help you with your concern.

Low FPS and performance issues in Minecraft on your Surface Pro 8 can be frustrating, especially when chunks don't load and movement is hindered. Here are some steps to help improve the performance:

• Force a shutdown and restart your Surface: Force a shutdown and restart your Surface - Microsoft Support
• Use Performance Mode:

1. Switch your Surface Pro 8 to Best Performance mode:
2. Click on the battery icon in the system tray and drag the slider to Best Performance.

• Monitor System Performance: Use Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) to monitor CPU, memory, and GPU usage while playing to identify any bottlenecks.

A "clean boot" starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs, so that you can determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program. How to perform a clean boot in Windows - Microsoft Support

• Check for Thermal Throttling: Surface devices can throttle performance if they get too hot. Ensure your Surface Pro 8 is adequately ventilated and consider using it on a flat surface to prevent overheating.

If the issue persists, there may be other underlying causes, such as a specific mod or version of the game that's causing the problem. Let me know if you need further assistance!

Your Sincerely
