This week, Microsoft released a guide specifically to help gamers regain those extra few frames, simply by restricting two features within Windows. This led many consumers to downgrade to Windows 10. Numerous gamers report that Windows 11 also affects their in-game performance, even after attempting fixes such as disabling VBS, which we discovered could improve frame rates rather consistently. And overall, some people believe Windows 11 simply feels less 'snappy' than Windows 10 did (myself included). A number of Nvidia buyers noticed significant frame drops following the recent 22H2 update in September. Early on AMD processors were affected, sometimes losing nearly 15% of its performance, but that only lasted for a couple of weeks right after launch. Windows 11 hasn't had the smoothest first year, but your mileage will vary.

Over a year later, Microsoft has published a guide to help users regain their frames.

TL DR: Ever since Windows 11 was released about a year ago, some gamers who made the jump found that their gaming performance had dropped off slightly compared to Windows 10.
