A few days ago, I noticed that my PC started lagging really hard despite being up to date with updates, RAM isnt really loaded, GPU load and CPU load is normal as ever even when I play, but everything is lagging for me.
No Idea where to turn so Im asking here. Thankful for a reply back!

What are your system specs?

I recently read something about Discord and Nvidia GPUs slowing down PCs, I have no idea if that applies to me because this recently happened out of nowhere

#

I have no idea what SVChost is as well lmao

#

I only have discord and Google chrome open atm

Discord has an option called hardware acceleration as do a bunch of programs that will optimise performance by using multiple components

#

Mostly puts more stress on the gpu

#

Where they would ordinarily only use cpu

#

Background programs like Xbox or game bar tend to eat away at resources since they can actively record when playing games

#

Difficult to pinpoint really

#

I just turn them all off

#

If I want to record something I’ll use obs

#

Could also be down to new or old drivers both chipset and gpu or even windows

I’ll definitely try that out! Thank you
