Windows 11 22H2 causing gaming issues for some NVIDIA users

According to user reports, the Windows 11 22H2 feature update released earlier this week is causing gaming performance issues on systems with NVIDIA GPUs.

NVIDIA is investigating the issue, roll back the update to fix the issue.


I haven't had issues myself yet (RTX 2070 Super) with few games I played recently.

 

[R-T-B]

None on my side either. I wonder what triggers it.

 

[StefanM]

Windows 11 22H2 added new graphics debugging tools which are inadvertently getting triggered and this is leading to some users to see lower performance in games.

This issue is addressed with GeForce Experience 3.26 BETA. This update can be downloaded from the URL below:

https://us.download.nvidia.com/GFE/GFEClient/3.26.0.131/GeForce_Experience_Beta_v3.26.0.131.exe

Please download the update and share if the performance issues that were introduced after updating to Windows 11 22H2 are resolved for you.

Oh I don’t install GeForce experience probably why I didn’t notice anything. Good to know though.

Yeah same here. Sounds like a Geforce Experience bug.

No need to speculate.

”Just as the title says, with the new Win 11 22H2 update, games and browser video playback experience severe lag with the Nvidia FrameView SDK Service running in the background. Stopping the service seems to fix all the performance issues.” -Jytra, representing NVIDIA

I was just about to update from 10 to 11. Now not so sure

I upgraded three systems to Windows 11 since this June and have downgraded two (one just two days ago).

Many probably won’t experience any major issues. I didn’t but there were enough cumulative minor annoyances to return to Windows 10 (which itself isn’t particularly lovable).

Might be better to install it first on a “disposable“ test system. My guess is that my daily driver desktop PC and sole notebook PC will stay on Windows 10 until mid 2024.

Best of luck.

Ive been running Windows 11 since release. No issues here. And it's already been found that the issue was related to Geforce Experience. So either dont install it or update to the beta.

 

[Kovoet]

I might just do the upgrade on Sunday. Anything I should worry about before upgrading

I don’t recall anything, the actual upgrades went uneventfully.

Just remember to upgrade to the GeForce Experience beta.

Just unplug your ethernet cable from your computer if you want to use a local account. Or better yet, make a boot drive with rufus and select the option to use local account. Should auto create your account based on your current profile name

Sounds like that's what was happening to me here: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...gpu-dying-how-can-i-check-3070-mobile.299134/

Saw some advice to disable HAGS and while improved it didn't solve the issue completely, so definitely something on windows side rather than my gpu dying

Stick with win 10, next week I going back to 10 on this work laptop. It'll take a few days to transfer everything over and get the setting correct.

So he's supposed to just take you at your word to stay on 10? Whats making you go back?

 

[freeagent]

No problems here neither, but I don't install GFE.

I don't mind 11, it runs well. I have 10 and 11 installed on my machine, and I use 11 most of the time. I considered wiping the 10 partition a few times.

He/she just said that he/she downgraded 2 of 3 his/her computers back to windows 10.

 

[pavle]

Just do not install the GeForce Experience (Custom Install), problem solved.

 

[Athlonite]

It's all part of Jensen's plan to get you upgrade to RTX4000 series

Ok. But my response was to you because you told them that they should stick to windows 10 rather than upgrade to windows 11 and you didnt provide justification as to why you thought that.

It was alot of small issues that affects my work or slows down my work progress.

 

[WhiteNoise]

No issues here either and I do use GF experience.

I suspected pretty much right away that it's because of Windows Update interfering with the software and overwritten it without permission from the PC owner or administrator.

This, since at least Windows 10, also manifests as the "access denied Nvidia control panel bug". (where you want to save settings and an error box pops up about access being denied)
