Stop video from lagging while playing games

[SirMadsen]

Are you experiencing videos lagging when you play games? More specifically if you play games in full screen mode and trying to watch a YouTube video or Twitch stream but the video keeps buffering, lagging or even just flat out stop playing. Well, fear not, this simple trick might help you.

Disable GPU scheduling by:
Right click on desktop -> Display Settings -> Graphics -> Change default graphics settings.

On Windows 11 you might have to:
Right click on desktop -> Display Settings -> Gaming -> Game Mode -> Graphics > Change default graphics settings.

You can also enable thew 'Optimization for windowed games' if you prefer to play in borderless window.
