Windows 11 25H2 experiences lag when playing games; my system meets the system requirements.

I'm running Windows 11 Home Chinese Edition 25H2 (with the latest updates installed), and my graphics card drivers are up to date. My hardware meets all the game's requirements. However, even when I lower the resolution to 720p, the game still experiences noticeable lag. Is this an issue specific to my setup, or is it a common problem with this version of the operating system?

    First, enable Game Mode in Settings > Games > Game Mode, and then disable vertical sync and triple buffering in the NVIDIA Control Panel.

    Other applications or processes might be consuming system resources. Try closing unnecessary programs while gaming.
