Fixed: Windows 11 2022 update causing performance issues for NVIDIA GPU users

The release of the Windows 11 2022 Update is bad news for those with NVIDIA GPUs. According to users in the Microsoft community and Reddit, the installation of Windows 11 22H2 is causing performance issues on their machines, especially when it comes to gaming. Complaints range from dropped CPU usage and frame rates to lag and stuttering. Thankfully, NVIDIA is now introducing a solution to this problem.

Before the fix arrived, some affected users shared their experiences and said that rolling back the Windows 11 2022 update successfully resolved the issue. That way, NVIDIA GPU users can wait for a fix from Microsoft or NVIDIA before downloading the aforementioned update. Now, that should be unnecessary, as the latter announced plans to roll out the update to everyone following the beta patch.

Affected users only need to use the latest NVIDIA GeForce Experience v3.26 BETA to get a solution. NVIDIA offers two ways to obtain it: manually download and install the NVIDIA-GeForce Experience v3.26 installer, or automatically update the GeForce Experience app. If you choose the latter, go to "Settings" and select "Enable experimental features". The application needs to be closed and restarted after 30 seconds to ensure the update is successful.

A beta version of the update was released on Sunday, and NVIDIA said the non-beta version of GeForce Experience 3.26 will go live this Monday with the new GeForce Game Ready driver.

On the other hand, considering that the 22H2 version update is basically new for every user of the latest Windows operating system, expect to encounter such a bug. Windows 11 users who want to have the latest version of the operating system can already download it, but Microsoft emphasizes that it will only be allowed if your machine is ready and eligible.
