A user on the Windows11 subreddit has provided a fix from Microsoft addressing performance degradation in games with the latest Windows 11 23H2 update.
User reports have unveiled gaming performance degradation problems in Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 23H2 update. The problem is reportedly related to a Windows Defender bug that is choking or blocking off system resources, causing gaming performance to slow. Thankfully Microsoft has provided a fix for the problem, but it requires several settings to be manually adjusted in the BIOS, Windows Settings app, and in the Windows PowerShell terminal.
The fix was shared by /u/BNSoul on the Windows11 subreddit. BNSoul reported that his system saw a 5-8% drop in CPU performance by installing the 23H2 update, and clean installing that version of Windows 11 did not fix his problems.
