Windows 10 new install, all games now lagging !!

[SteevenTide]

Please help me guys, I've recently installed Windows 10 on my computer. A fresh. clean installation. I was on Windows 7 and everything worked fine for years ! Now I'm having issues with gaming performance, all my games had a significant FPS drop, barely unplayable. I was running games like SOMA in ultra settings at 60 FPS and now I'm running it at barely 15FPS.

All my drivers are up to date.

Heres my config : i5 3.2GHz 16Gb DDR3 GeForce GTX750

I'm also having sound issues like a lag in the sound.

Anything to recommend to me ? I'm tired of this lag !!!

Thanks

Your drivers may be up to date, but you may have the wrong ones installed.

Especially sound drivers are notoriously bad more often than not. I'm guessing you're using onboard audio, most likely Realtek HD? I highly suggest you uninstall the ones you downloaded from Realtek's website and let Windows install them automatically.

When I used onboard audio, I had similar issues like yours and using the default Windows drivers was the only way to fix numerous sound issues. And audio playback being poorly written to memory by a faulty driver can cause all kinds of lag issues, so you might be killing 2 birds with 1 stone there.

Good luck.

Heres what you do. Hit the start menu and search for Adjust the appearance and performance of windows. Click advanced and under virtual memory click change.

Uncheck Automatically manage paging file size.

Switch to custom size, and down at the bottom where it says recommended, put that value i for both initial and maximum size.

click Ok, restart your computer and you should be running well again. My computer has been playing games slowly since upgrading and this was the first thing that actually had a significant improvement.

Other than this there may be other background services running from windows 10.
