I’m not familiar with computer tech, so I don’t understand what’s going on. After playing, my whole system slows down and becomes sluggish. My hardware includes an AMD Ryzen 5 3600X with 6 cores, a 16GB DDR4 RAM, a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti (6 GB), Windows 10 64-bit, and a recording file named "MedalTVScreenRecording20250813115157-tr-edit.mp4" edited on August 13, 2025 by Lil fat boy.

Which titles were you enjoying? What graphics quality were you setting? There might be persistent memory issues due to VRAM limits. It could also stem from the Nvidia overlay—consider disabling it.

Now it doesn't require a game; it begins automatically when I turn on the computer, even working with Roblox.

I’m checking what background processes are active, which sites I’m visiting, and the apps installed. Everything seems to function, though it’s unclear if anything unusual is affecting performance. I’m not sure about any virus or malware—I just want to confirm my settings are normal. Are you using any security software besides Windows Defender?

The lag begins immediately after Windows starts, meaning there shouldn’t be any extra background processes running. I’m using only Windows Defender.

Your window setup may have been damaged. Consider reinstalling it correctly to check if the issue disappears. If the problem persists, there could be an issue with one or more components of your computer.
