Windows throttles, lags, and the cpu goes up to 100% after some time when playing games

5 upvotes 3 comments
Windows 10 and 11 throttles and slows down EXTREMELY after playing a heavy game for a while.

I found a fix and wanted to share the solution.

Here is what to do:
Use throttlestop and disable BD PROCHOT
For me, windows doesnt know how to throttle my cpu properly and instead makes it go SUPER slow to the point that the windows itself starts lagging.

Then UPDATE YOUR GPU DRIVERS!!1
For some reason though, my nvidia gpu could only get the newest update using the lenovo vantage app since my laptop is a lenovo. SO perhaps try your manufactures app.

Now do a reboot and hopefully things should be well.

By the way, this issue only happens for me in windows, linux works fine!

Hope this helps someone, not sure if piefed could be crawled by search engines or not.
