My PC randomly Lag while Playing Games

Hello, Prit Mayani

Considering that this may be a game-specific issue, since the release year of this game is so old, it may not be particularly compatible with Windows 11. If it's convenient, I suggest you contact the developer of the game to ask if there's a newer version of the game to adapt to your system.

Hello,Prit Mayani

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I am aware of the present situation is that your PC is lagging while playing games. That can be very frustrating and annoying. There are many possible reasons why your PC is lagging, such as overheating, outdated drivers, graphics settings, internet connection, background programs, or malware. I searched the web for some solutions that might help you fix your lag problem. Here are some of them:

1. Reduce CPU temperature: Your CPU might be overheating and throttling its performance, which can cause lag. You can use a tool like to monitor your CPU’s temperature and see if it reaches beyond 80℃. If it does, you might need to apply new thermal paste, get a better cooling fan, or use a cooling pad.
   
2. Decrease graphics settings: Try lowering your graphics settings to medium, low, or minimum. You should also look for CPU-intensive settings like simulated physics and background characters and lower them.
   
3. Choose the correct power plan: Your power plan might be limiting your PC’s performance to save energy. You can try to search the Power,sleep and battery settings > Switch your power mode into Best performance.
   
4. Close unnecessary background apps: Some apps might be using up system resources and bandwidth that could affect your game. You can close any programs that you don’t need at the moment. You can also use Task Manager to see what’s running in the background and end any tasks that are taking up CPU.
   
5. Check the compatibility: Tomb Raider (2013) is a game released ten years ago that may conflict with Windows 11 compatibility. If your game icon is on the desktop right click and select Properties > Go to Compatibility tab > Select Windows7 in Compatibility mode > Open the game again to see how your problem manifests.
   

Hope it helps! If any update, welcome to share with us.
