Question: Why does the temporary file folder cause performance drops? And why do I have a windows activation error? (This is so weird)

Question

For some reason in some games that performance drops because of the temporary file folder. I don't know why, but this never happened before and now it does (must be some weird windows update that makes the temporary file folder lag the whole system.) :(. For example my Roblox temporary files reach up tp ~500 mb and the performance starts to drop. How do I fix this weird problem? This is so weird, I have a ~$2000 PC and I'm having this problem. Also I got this error code for my windows activation code: 0xC004F074.

My Specs:

CPU: Intel i5-12600K

GPU: RTX 4070 Super

MOTHERBOARD: TUF GAMING B760M-PLUS WIFI D4

RAM: "PNY XLR8 DDR4 8GB (there are 2 of them)"

PSU: Corsair CV750 - 80 PLUS BRONZE

SSD: Kingston NV2 500GB PCIe Gen4x4 NVMe M.2 (SNV2S/500G)

PC CASE: JETEK SQUID R1

Something is making the "cache files (from the temporary files folder)" lag my games :(

Hello, Ritter M.

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I have some ideas.

According to the official documentation, you should contact your organization's administrator for activation.

The activation cannot proceed because the activation server is unreachable.

This is the link to the official documentation:

Error 0xC004F074 when you activate Windows - Windows Server | Microsoft Learn

If you have purchased a retail version of Windows 11, I suggest you contact the retailer.

If you purchased Windows 11 from the Microsoft Store, I recommend contacting online technical support.
