No matter what game I'm playing when I stream, if I have to switch tabs, I keep getting a lot of lag. My game's frame rate stays great though. I don't know any good solutions out there, but anyone who could help would be really thankful.

Follow these steps one by one. First, cut your internet connection. Second, take out the graphics card driver and run DDU (make sure it cleans up completely without restarting). Third, remove all processors from Device Manager (there should be 16 of them; when restart is asked for, say no) and keep them off. Finally, restart the PC to load the BIOS, then upgrade to the newest version. Go into BIOS again...

read these steps one by one carefully until they are all done: first, cut your internet connection off. then uninstall the GPU driver and run DDU to clean it completely without restarting. in Device Manager, remove all processor drivers (there should be 16 there on yours); when restart is asked for, say no like this: start up your computer to load BIOS, and update to the newest version of BIOS. Then go back into BIOS after that update and choose default or optimized settings. once you boot into Windows and install the latest AMD Chipset driver, reboot and go to Power Plan to pick "AMD Ryzen Balanced." After that, connect to the internet again. Install the latest NVIDIA driver too. *do everything offline until you reboot after installing the chipset driver; also try cleaning up and reinstalling Streamlabs, checking for and installing Windows updates (optional ones except for chipsets), and enable Hardware Accelerated Graphics Scheduling in your graphics settings like this: make sure your power supply has one PCIe cable for each slot (use the main cable, not a split or branch).

I'm going to try this but first I need one thing answered: Will this rollback my BIOS? My computer says it doesn't support an R7 card, yet my B-350 motherboard should be able to handle that. I've already updated the BIOS yesterday and I don't think that's why something is happening because it's been going on for six weeks straight.
