What should I do if games crash and the browser becomes sluggish after updating to Windows 11?
After the system automatically updated, running software in the background while gaming causes stuttering, crashes, and even black screens. The browser also experiences delays. How can this be fixed?

If possible, try rolling back the system update to its previous version. This can help restore your system to a state where the issues didn't exist. Keep in mind that this might not be possible, depending on your system's configuration and the update process.
Outdated or incompatible graphics drivers are a common cause of black screens and performance issues. Visit your GPU manufacturer's website (NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel) and download the latest drivers compatible with your system.
Update your graphics card and motherboard chipset drivers, and enable Game Mode under Settings > Gaming > Game Mode to optimise resource allocation.
The main causes are often driver conflicts, background processes, or corrupted system files. Start with driver updates or rollback, manage background apps, and run system scans. If you're unsure about specific steps, I can guide you through them.
Experiencing stuttering, crashes, black screens, and browser delays after an automatic system update can be quite frustrating. This situation often indicates that the update may have caused driver conflicts, system resource issues, or compatibility problems.
