Does Windows 11 slows down your laptop?

    So I have a Windows 10 laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 4500H with NVIDIA GTX 1660 TI and received a free Windows 11 upgrade one day. So, I installed the free os upgrade and somehow made my laptop even slower with a noticeable fps drop. Maybe there are some drivers that I have not updated yet, but I just want to be sure. Maybe somebody could help me out

    Hi there! It sounds like outdated drivers could definitely be the issue, especially after a major OS upgrade like Windows 11. Here are a few steps that might help you fix the performance issues:

    1. Update your graphics drivers: Both your AMD and NVIDIA drivers might be outdated. You can visit the official websites for the latest drivers:
    • AMD Ryzen 7 4500H: AMD Drivers & Support
    • NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti: NVIDIA Driver Downloads
    2. Update chipset drivers: Chipset drivers are often overlooked but crucial for overall system performance. Check your laptop manufacturer’s website for the latest drivers, or download them directly from AMD’s site.
    3. Windows performance tweaks:
    • Switch the power plan to “High Performance” (Control Panel > Power Options > High Performance).
    • Make sure the “Game Mode” is enabled in Windows 11 (Settings > Gaming > Game Mode).
    4. DirectX and Redistributables: Ensure that DirectX and other runtime components like the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables are up-to-date. You can do this either through the Microsoft website or by checking for updates in Windows Update.
    5. Check the Task Manager: Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and check if any processes are consuming unusually high amounts of CPU or GPU resources.

    If none of these steps work, you might want to consider doing a clean install of Windows 11. Sometimes, upgrading from Windows 10 can leave behind old files or create driver conflicts that affect performance.

    Hope this helps!
