Microsoft confirms that Windows 11 slows down games

---

Another problem with gaming performance in Windows 11 22H2 has been confirmed by Microsoft. After installing the most recent operating system update, several users have started to complain about performance issues when playing games. They face stuttering and other bugs. Although it was initially thought that the issue is from NVIDIA graphic cards, changing the drivers did not resolve it. Microsoft concluded by warning that some games and applications “may encounter slower than expected performance or freezes on Windows 11 22H2”.

Windows 11 games experience

The tech giant admits that they unintentionally enable GPU performance debugging. But does not give specific examples of games or applications that may be impacted by this problem. Consumer electronics should not use this function. Why some games and applications on Windows 11 22H2 activate the debugging feature is a mystery given by Microsoft. Furthermore, we do not know how many applications are having this issue.

The company has stopped automatically updating impacted devices to Windows 11 22H2 while searching for a fix. Users have to update their games and apps rather than install the latest version of Windows 11 Pro. Additionally, you have the option to “roll back” to a prior system version.

Gamers have experienced problems with Microsoft’s new operating system before. Owners of computers with AMD chips noticed a drop in performance a year ago. By the way, we still waiting for a solution to this issue.
