After a Windows update causes extreme FPS drops in GameLoop, users worldwide are applying several practical fixes to restore smooth performance.

First, update your GPU drivers from NVIDIA/AMD/Intel and install all GameLoop updates, because outdated drivers are a top cause of post-Windows update lag.

Many players also tweak Windows itself — setting the Power Plan to High Performance, disabling background apps, turning off Game DVR/Game bar, and adjusting virtual memory — which often stabilizes frame rates.

Within GameLoop, adjusting emulator settings like rendering mode, allocating more cores/RAM, clearing shader cache, and prioritizing the dedicated GPU can eliminate sudden FPS dips after updates.

Some gamers use third-party optimizers or scripts that automatically tune system and emulator performance, reducing lag and stabilizing FPS.

Lastly, checking that Windows updates haven’t re-enabled conflicting services or throttling settings and rolling back a problematic update if needed often fixes stubborn drops.

This is the information we have, but if you have more insights from your experience, please share in the comments.
