1. On your keyboard, press Ctrl , Shift and Esc at the same time to open Task Manager .
2. Right-click on the programs you don’t need to run at the moment and click End task .

3. Start a game in PUBG and check if the lag in PUBG issues have been resolved. If yes, then congrats! But if the issues still persist, you should move on toFix 3 , below.

Fix 4: Update your graphics drivers

The PUBG lag problem may also occur if you’re using the wrong or outdated graphics driver. So you should update your graphics driver to see if it fixes your problem. If you don’t have the time, patience or skills to update the driver manually, you can do it automatically withDriver Easy .

Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct drivers for it. You don’t need to know exactly what system your computer is running, you don’t need to be troubled by the wrong driver you would be downloading, and you don’t need to worry about making a mistake when installing.Driver Easy handles it all.

You can update your drivers automatically with either theFREE or thePro version of Driver Easy. But with the Pro version it takes just 2 steps (and you get full support and a 30-day money back guarantee):

You can also click Update to do it for free if you like, but it’s partly manual.

4. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

5. Start a new game in PUBG to see if the PUBG lap problem has been resolved. If yes, then congrats! But if the issue persists, please move on toFix 5 , below.

Fix 5: Change the power option and adjust for best performance

By default, the power plan on our computer is often configured to Balanced or Power saver to conserve battery, which largely compromises the operating capacity of your graphics card and CPU.

Also the system performance on our computer may also be undermined for the advanced graphics features.

So to tweak the settings:

1. On your keyboard, press the Windows logo key and R at the same time, then copy & paste powercfg.cpl into the box and press Enter .
   
2. Choose the High performance option.

3. In the top-right corner of the window, type advanced and click View advanced system settings .

4. Click Adjust for best performance > Apply > OK .
