Why is Minecraft Windows laggy??

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

Hope you're doing great today Jayden

You can try disabling startup program in the task manager to see if that improves the performance:
Open task manager > select the startup tab > disable all the programs listed there temporarily

Restart the PC and check the game.

Also, sometimes helps closing background processes and apps opened in your PC
Basically close all the apps and leave the game open

If the issue performance is the same.
in that case is your current hardware the one that isn't capable to run the game

Hello L4c3rd4! Thx for the quick reply. I tried all the methods and finally the windows Powershell method worked! Thx so much! Now my minecraft windows edition isn't laggy at all.

Hello dear Gamer, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

Hey Lud4y, how are you today? Hope you're well.

Lud4y, this happens only with Minecraft on your PC,

So, let's try this, first, make sure your windows and all its services are up to date:

Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update;

Click Check for Updates;

Click the Download and Install Now option, if available;

Also, check the Microsoft Store for any updates on the Xbox apps and its services.

Then try this:

Go to windows settings > apps > search for gaming services app > click on it and select advanced options.

After that, click repair and then restore, open the app and try again.

Then do the same for the Xbox app:

Go to windows settings > apps > search for Xbox app > click on it and select advanced options.

After that, click repair and then restore, open the app and try again.

______________________________________________________________

Then, try to uninstall and install the Xbox app.

If it still doesn't work you're going to uninstall the games services using a powershell command, then you're going to open the gamepass app, it will ask you to download and install the game services again :

In the windows search bar type Powershell > Right click and select open as administrator > Type the command: "get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-Appxpackage –allusers" > Wait for the process to finish and then restart the PC, then open your Xbox gamepass app, it will ask you to install the gaming services again, install it and try again.

If neither of those procedures works, try to restore your PC's OS via the ISO image tool, using that tool you will be able to maintain your installed games and files.
