  2. Select Properties.
  3. Go to the Compatibility tab.
  4. Check the box for Disable Full-Screen Optimization.
  5. Click Apply and then OK.

Setting a custom virtual memory size helps prevent crashes and stuttering in demanding games.

How to Adjust Virtual Memory:

  3. Go to the Advanced tab and click Change under Virtual Memory.

    • Maximum size: 3x your RAM size (e.g., 12GB RAM → 36000MB)
  6. Click Set, then OK, and restart your PC.

Step 7: Choose the High-Performance Power Plan

This setting ensures your PC runs at full power rather than conserving energy.

How to Enable High-Performance Mode:
