Please Windows 11 I need this!
Please Windows 11 I need this!
Windows 10 has always been our favorite, I was also using it before. It handled all my games smoothly, consistently achieving over 180 FPS on CS2, even with my older graphics card (Nvidia GTX 1650). After an update to Windows 11, performance dropped noticeably in every game, including RBLX. I upgraded my PC from the GTX 1650 to a 5060 and did a clean reinstall of Windows. The FPS reductions persisted. Thinking about downgrading back to Windows 10 or switching to Linux, any expert advice would be greatly appreciated?
Hello, I think it would help if I added more details to this account.
November 15 2025
At that time, my system specs were: an Intel i5-13400F, GTX 1650 graphics, and 24 GB of RAM running at 2400 MHz. I was using Windows 10.
I had CS2 running smoothly with over 180 FPS, even on the weaker card and with lower RAM. One day I switched to Windows 11 to test it out. The following day I started playing the same game, but the performance was drastically reduced—static around 80 to 100 FPS! This issue wasn’t limited to CS2; it affected all my other titles such as Sons of The Forest and RBLX.
I upgraded to a 32 GB RAM system with 3200 MHz memory, an RTX 5060 graphics card, and a 1 TB NVMe M.2 4x4 SSD. My performance jumped from a low setting at 1080p with 80 FPS to a stunning 120 FPS on low settings!
However, my home doesn’t have an 8 GB USB drive. If I wanted to install Windows 10 again, I’d have to visit the store. Please help me out. Thank you.
I switched to Windows 11 and noticed the FPS drops in all games, including RBLX. I think you mean an upgrade from Windows 10. If that's the case, it would be recommended to make a bootable USB for Windows 11, format it, and then reinstall Windows 11.
My current specifications at that time were:
CPU: I5-13400F
GPU: GTX 1650
RAM: 24GB at 2400MHz
OS: Windows 10
Hardware: 32GB RAM upgrade to 64GB, RTX 3060, 1x NVMe M.2 SSD (4x4), 16GB USB drive
I’m sharing my full system details as usual:
CPU cooler: Liquid Cooler X
Motherboard: B550 AORUS
Ram: 32GB DDR4
SSD/HDD: NVMe M.2 1TB
GPU: RTX 3060
PSU: 650W
Chassis: AORUS Blue
OS: Windows 10
Monitor: 24-inch Full HD
PS: Including PSU age and BIOS version for the motherboard.
My current setup is:
House doesn’t have an 8GB USB drive. Getting a 16GB USB should be easy—your friend or neighbor probably has one, even if you don’t.
Apologies, I initially believed those minor specifics wouldn't be significant, though I'm struggling to recall the precise model name again.
You can use Speccy, HWinfo and CPU-Z, though none of these tools will reveal the case make and model, CPU cooler details, or PSU specifications. You might remove the side panels from the case and check the stickers, or send a photo of your build. You should upload the images to a platform like Imgur and share the link here for us to review.
We depend on the data you provide to assist in troubleshooting and offer advice. With limited information, you may receive fewer helpful suggestions or be asked for more details, as requested.
After experimenting with Spec Checkers, here are the final specifications.
CPU: I5-13400F
CPU cooler: 7x Lian Li mini fans and Deepcool AK620
Motherboard: H610M bomber DDR4
Ram: Kingston Fury Beast DDR4 16GB x 2
SSD/HDD: HS-SDD-Future eco 1024G, WDC WD10EZEX-75WN4A0, KINGSTON SA400S3724G
GPU: VGA RTX 5060
PSU: Centaur 750W
Chassis: Unknown part identification
OS: Windows 11 version 25H2
Monitor: Asus Vy279Hgr
Just to confirm: the FPS decreases when playing games but remains stable otherwise—correct?
Check system performance using Task Manager, Resource Monitor, and Process Explorer (Microsoft, free).
Open each tool individually but keep one active at a time. Leave the window open so you can monitor changes.
Start tasks that normally run smoothly without FPS drops, then introduce actions known to lower FPS.
Observe the tool windows to see resource usage, percentages, and which processes are consuming them.
Graphical tools are most likely to reflect these changes in FPS.
power supply is faulty—it's a 600w unit pretending to be 750w.
if memory helps, it's a bronze unit with a maximum of 600w, 12v, and 50 amps, which I question as possibly unrealistic.
did you add a heatsink to the NVMe drive because they tend to overheat?
also, consider upgrading your BIOS to the latest version.
Most build or strange problems come from a failing power supply outside of that. Have you thought about destroying it from space? For example, back up your data, wipe the hard drive several times, reinstall everything, and then apply all OS, software, and security updates before trying again. Once resolved or with a better power supply, that should work.
