1. Update the driver: 
Go to Device Manager and check if the key drivers such as graphics card, sound card, etc. need to be updated.
Try downloading the latest drivers from the hardware manufacturer's website 
2. Roll back or uninstall updates: 
Go to Settings > Windows Update > Update History > Uninstall Updates to remove the most recent updates.
Or use the Recovery option to roll back to a previous version.
3. Adjust the power plan: 
Go to Control Panel > Power Options and select High Performance mode.
Turn off potentially conflicting features: 
Try disabling Game Mode (Settings > Game > Game Mode).
Turn off hardware accelerated GPU scheduling (Settings > System > Display > Graphics Settings).
4. Run a system check: 
Run at the command prompt (administrator): 
sfc /scannow 
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth 
Check and repair system files.
5. Check for third-party software conflicts: 
Go to Task Manager and check if there are any processes that are taking up an abnormal amount of CPU/memory.
Try to clean boot
