Game stuttering is the irregular delays between GPU frames that can have a notable impact on gameplay.

A game that stutters will feel slow, or laggy, and momentarily delay player actions. The motion in a stuttering game might appear to be jerky.

Below are some resolutions that might eradicate stuttering in games.

How can I fix stuttering in games?

1. Turn off the Windows Game Bar and DVR

1. Press the Windows key + Q hotkey.
2. Enter the keyword game in Cortana’s search box.
3. Select Control how Game Bar opens and recognizesyour game to open the window shown directly below.
4. Then turn off the Record game clips, screenshots and broadcast using Game bar setting.
5. Select the Game DVR tab shown directly below.
6. Turn off the Record in the background while I’m playing a game setting.

As mentioned, the Windows 10 Creators Update generated game stuttering for some players. That might be due to some of the new game settings the Creators Update introduced.

As such, turning off the Windows Game bar and Game DVR might reduce game stutter in Windows 10.

2. Update the Graphics card driver

1. First, launch Run with the Windows key + R keyboard shortcut.
2. Enter dxdiag in the Open text box and click OK to open the window shown directly below.
3. Note down the OS details on the System tab.
4. Then click the Display tab, which includes the graphics card, manufacturer, and current driver version details. Note down all those details.
5. Open the graphic card manufacturer’s website in your browser, which will probably be AMD or NVIDIA.
6. Open the driver download page on the manufacturer’s website.
7. Then select your graphics card model and platform on the driver download page drop-down menus.
8. Download the latest graphics card driver version compatible with your platform if it doesn’t match the current driver version shown on DirectX Diagnostic Tool’s Display tab.
9. Select to save the driver to the Windows desktop.
10. Then users can right-click the driver icons on their desktops and select Run as administrator.
11. Some users might need to select an extraction path for the driver files.
12. Thereafter, the setup wizard window will open from which you can install the driver.

Games are more likely to stutter for players playing them with antiquated graphics card drivers.

So, it’s worth checking for graphics card driver updates that can provide some notable graphical enhancements.

Now, this is how users can automatically update a graphics card driver in Windows 10.

3. Enable V-Sync

1. Right-click the desktop and select NVIDIA Control Panel on the context menu.
2. Click 3D Settings and select Manage 3D Settings to open further options.
3. Then select the Force on option on the Vertical sync drop-down menu.
4. To turn on AMD Enhanced Sync, which has replaced V-Sync, right-click the desktop and select the AMD Radeon Settings option.
5. Click Global Settings on the AMD Radeon Settings window.
6. Click Wait for Vertical Refresh to select the Enhanced Sync option.

Tearing and stuttering in Windows games can be due to a frame rate discrepancy between the monitor and GPU.

Run a System Scan to discover potential errors

Consequently, some NVIDIA and AMD PCs include V-Sync and Enhanced Sync settings that users can select to sync VDU and GPU frame rates in order to eradicate tearing and stuttering in games.

4. Turn off Intel Turbo Boost

1. Enter powercfg.cpl in Run, and select the OK option.
2. Click Change plan settings to open further options.
3. Then click Change advanced power settings.
4. Double-click the Processor power management to expand that category.
5. Then double-click Maximum processor state as in the snapshot below.
6. Adjust the On battery and Plugged in values to 99 %.
7. Select the Apply option, and click the OK button.

Game stutter can also be due to Intel Turbo Boost, which overclocks processors. So, turning Intel Turbo Boost off can reduce game stuttering.

5. Turn off Dynamic Tick

1. Right-click the Start menu and select Command Prompt (Admin).
2. First, enter the following command and press Return: bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes
3. Then input this line in the Command Prompt, and press the Enter key: bcdedit /set useplatformclock true
4. Thereafter, enter this line below in the Prompt and press Return: bcdedit /set tscsyncpolicy Enhanced
5. Close the Command Prompt window and restart the system.

6. Close background software before running games

1. Right-click the Start menu button to select Task Manager.
2. Select a program on Task Manager’s Processes tab.
3. Press the End Task button to close the selected program.
4. Users can also turn off third-party services to free up more RAM by double-clicking a service under Background processes. Then right-click the service and select Stop.

Note that there are a few game booster programs which optimize system resources for games.

Software such as Game Fire 6, Razer Cortex, and Wise Game Booster include numerous resources for boosting games. This software will also close superfluous third-party programs and services for users.

Game stuttering is more likely when players don’t optimize system resources for games. As such, make sure there aren’t too many background programs consuming system resources before launching the game.

7. Turn off the Diagnostic Policy Service

1. Enter services.msc in Run and click OK to open the window in the image directly below.
2. Double-click Diagnostic Policy Service to open the window shown directly below.
3. Select Disabled on the Startup type drop-down menu.
4. Press the Apply button, and then select the OK option.
5. Restart the desktop and laptop after disabling Diagnostic Policy Service.

8. Reduce the Graphical settings

Games stutter more when players select graphical settings that are a little too high for the PCs they’re running the games on.

Thus, reducing a game’s graphical settings to standard or low might also eradicate at least some of the stuttering.

Lower graphical settings will certainly ensure the game runs faster and more smoothly.

Most Windows games’ setting menus include graphical options, such as resolution, that can players can adjust.

So, that’s how players can fix game stuttering in Windows 10. Then the games’ gameplay will be much smoother than before.

Stuttering Screen in Windows 10

I would like question regarding my problematic laptop. My brother gave me his laptop. The laptop had a broken lcd but the cursor and the screen was moving smoothly. But after like 30 minutes, the cursor was lagging and so is the screen. I tried fixing it by updating the drivers. I go over on the official website of AMD to get and see my driver. I updated the driver, but while it was updating the screen wasn’t stuttering anymore. After that the driver requires me to restart my laptop. After restarting my computer the problem came back. I tried deleting my driver so my driver is the Microsoft basic display adapter, and it the problem was gone. But my laptop overheats and I can’t change the brightness.Please help me ASAP. ������

As for the heat issue, kindly double-check if you’re using the official AC adapter that comes with this laptop? You can check the input volts & watts & see if that is the output volts/watts on the AC adapter.

Also, I’d recommend updating all your drivers & BIOS firmware from the Acer website link above to ensure it’s working on the optimum level.

I hope this helps. Let me know how you go. Thank you!
