I own a Lenovo Ideapad Gaming laptop. My issue is whenever I am playing certain games which are mostly graphics intensive my pc suddenly starts to lag and stutter a lot. The audio becomes grainy too. This however sometimes gets fixed whenever i restart my pc. I am facing this problem after I upgraded to Windows 11. My pc specs are:
Ryzen 7 4800H
Nvidia gtx 1650 ti
8 gb ram
Full hd 60 fps screen

Any help is very much appreciated!

    Hi DebangshuSingh-9536,

    Since you have upgraded to Windows 11, I suggest that you update all your computer's drivers as well. Download them from the support area of the computer/motherboard manufacturer's website. Preferably download the indicated drivers for Windows 11.

    Update the BIOS too. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.

    If it persists, perform a clean boot to see if any third-party program in the background is causing this problem. Follow the instructions carefully.

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows-da2f9573-6eec-00ad-2f8a-a97a1807f3dd

    If the problem does not occur after a clean boot. In this same article, there is a technique to help you identify which program is causing this in "How to determine what is causing the problem after you do a clean boot".

    I hope this information helps. If you have any questions please let me know and I will be glad to help you out.
