It’s unfortunate to hear about the performance issues you’re facing with your Nitro AN515-43 after upgrading to Windows 11. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and hopefully improve the situation:
Check Graphics Drivers:
Ensure that your graphics drivers are up-to-date. Visit the official website of your graphics card manufacturer (NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel) to download and install the latest drivers for your specific GPU.
Windows Updates:
Make sure your operating system is fully updated. Sometimes, Windows updates can include fixes for performance issues.
Power Settings:
Check your power settings to ensure your laptop is set to high performance mode while gaming. Go to “Power & sleep settings” and adjust the power plan accordingly.
Background Processes:
Close unnecessary background processes and applications that might be consuming system resources. Use Task Manager to identify and close any resource-intensive tasks.
Temperature Monitoring:
Monitor your laptop’s temperature during gaming. Overheating can lead to performance drops. Ensure that your laptop’s cooling system is working properly and consider using a cooling pad.
Game Settings:
Adjust in-game settings to a lower graphical quality to see if it improves performance. This includes lowering resolution, texture quality, and other graphics settings.
Check for Malware:
Run a full system antivirus scan to rule out the possibility of malware affecting your system performance.
Disk Cleanup:
Perform a disk cleanup to free up space on your hard drive. A full hard drive can sometimes lead to performance issues.
System Restore:
If the problems started after upgrading to Windows 11, consider performing a system restore to revert your system to a state before the upgrade.
Update BIOS:
Check if there’s a BIOS update available for your laptop on the manufacturer’s website. Updating the BIOS can sometimes address compatibility issues.
Driver Rollback:
If the issues persist after reverting to Windows 10, consider rolling back specific drivers to versions that were stable for you. This includes graphics, network, and chipset drivers.
If none of these solutions work, it may be worth seeking assistance from the laptop manufacturer’s support or forums to see if others have experienced similar issues with your specific model. Additionally, you may want to check for any known compatibility issues between your laptop model and Windows 11.
