graphics are too slow after win10

[Fritter Enzyme]

I got a used laptop, Asus i7, Nvidia Geforce gt 550m, went from win7 to 10. All seemed good with SL.  Nvidia updated, and added Nvidia Experience.  Things seemed slow and different.  Not better.  Then I got a 10 update that took away my start button and any connetivity to the internet.  I rolled back the update and things went back the way they were.  Took the update again, and the same thing happened.  I went back to factory settings, and SL is way too slow, teleportation fails often.  I don't move when I try or stop when I want.  All this with the latested Firestorm.  Tried earlier versions of that and Singularity.  Low graphic settings help but it isn't worth being on like this.  Any ideas?

Thanks

I don't have a solution as I am still using Windows 8 however I'm glad that I read your post because I was going to update to Windows 10. I'm wondering if others had the same issues that you had with Windows 10? Anyone?

It is well worth checking the laptop manufacturers website to see if it is ready for Windows 10. I checked and my Asus Predator Pc is but not many of their other computers seemed to be

Use the viewer help/about to see if your graphics card is being used.

Fritter,

That laptop and it's Nvidia Geforce gt 550m graphics subsystem is a nice bit of hardware for Business and Business graphics. While the PassMark rating for that GS is 740 it is still considered the bottom of the barrel in the Nvidia graphics pantheon of hardware.

Try this driver from Nvidia... http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/86512/en-us

Also, many times poor performance is to be expected after a Windows 10 upgrade. You should also try the System Refresh Option where your Laptop OS of Windows 10 is reinstalled as if it was a new install and all your data is preserved.

I read there is a fix coming with the release of Windows 11 . . .  

Soon?

Yes. Post your question in the Technical Forum rather than cluttering up this General Discussions one.
