The last week has been a strong one for Nvidia. The announcement of the RTX 40 series<\/a> generated a lot of buzz, but the company has also been dealing with many complaints from gamers after updating to Windows 11 22H2. Users took to social media to report issues with stuttering and lag. After an investigation, it turns out that the GeForce Experience software was to blame.<\/p>\n

According to Bleeping Computer<\/a>, reports of issues surfaced last week. This thread<\/a> over at the Windows community forum gives examples of the problems users were having.\u00a0Reports of large fluctuations in CPU usage resulting in stuttering and lag were numerous. The issues were gone after rolling back to the previous Windows version.<\/p>\n

Over at the official GeForce forums, Nvidia staff member Manuel posted the following<\/a>: “Thank you for your feedback. Windows 11 22H2 added new graphics debugging tools which are inadvertently getting triggered and this is leading to some users to see lower performance in games. We are working on a fix.”<\/p>\n

That fix is now available. Nvidia posted an article on its support site <\/a>directing users to either download GeForce Experience 3.26 beta or update from within the GeForce experience app itself, though to do so, you need to go to the app settings and \u2018enable experimental features\u2019 which gives permission to install the beta version.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s well worth installing the update if you are experiencing issues, but if you\u2019re not or haven\u2019t yet installed the Windows 22H2 update, you might as well wait until Nvidia rolls out a non-beta version and driver.
