    Windows explorer, desktop and cursor in-game lags even after formatting, any advice?


    Good evening, I've been having trouble with my laptop for a bit now. Most of my programs and games run very well but windows as a whole is incredibly unresponsive and slow, as well as the url search bar on every browser I've tried Edge, Chrome, Opera and Firefox. I recently formatted my pc to see if it would help to no avail, even when it was completely wiped clean. I suspected a hardware issue so I cleaned my fans and checked for bad drivers and nothing worked either. Using my laptop is currently very doable but I'd like it to be as smooth as it was before and I don't know what to dWindows explorer, desktop and cursor in-game lags even after formatting, any advice? o_One th

    Cursor lagging on my desktop

    Hi Charlie,

    To help you with your concern, we'd like to suggest checking if there are unwanted applications running in the background. To check this, follow these steps below:

    • Right-click on your Start Menu button on the Taskbar.
    • Click Task Manager
    • Under Processes, close any applications that are running in the background that are consuming resources on your laptop. Select the program and then click
      End Task.
    • Next click the Details tab, choose the program that is consuming a lot of memory on your computer and then press
      End Task.
    • Check if the cursor is responding slowly.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Card games lagging!

    Hi Helena,

    If it's an online game, the lag issue may have been caused by your Internet connection. It can also occur due to the game server issue. We'll need to gather a bit more information to better identify what's causing this. Kindly answer the following:

    • Have you made any changes prior to this issue?
    • What card game are you having issues with?
    • Is the issue the same with other games?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far to resolve the issue?

    Meanwhile, if the card game you're playing is downloaded from Windows Store, we suggest running the
    Windows apps troubleshooter. The apps troubleshooter can help resolve issues with games and applications downloaded from Windows Store.

    Regards.
