Greetings LTT Community, I'm having this persistent issue of an alt tab delay when switching between apps. I already searched for alternative fixes online such as

using cmd to check any corrupt files via sfc /scannow and no issues were found. This problem occurred on the version of Windows 1803, so I updated it to 1903 hoping to 

have significant changes to how the performance of the alt tab works, but sadly there still a delay even if I update my laptop on the latest version. In addition, my graphic drivers are 

also up to date.

 

My laptop was just bought two months ago, it has an i7 9750H and a GTX 1650, 8GB RAM. 

 

Attached below is a sample video of the said issue. 

 

Hoping to have a fix to this problem.

Have you checked the ram usage of your laptop this is the common issue with 8gb  ram laptops they usually have bloatware provided by the manufacturer and the page file gets the excess programs this is the cause of the lag you may be able to get more ram depending on the make and model of the laptop.

List of things you could try:
 

  • As Above me said, check for bloatware
  • Update drivers, not just graphics, firmware, bios etc
  • Provide a screenshot of RAM & CPU Usage during idle
  • Battery & Power settings, check if they are at max performance or not?

These are some things I thought of at the top of my head.

If you could provide the full Laptop Name that would make the troubleshooting easier, as it narrows down the searches you have to do.

 

But first and foremost, check the things I wrote up top :)

This is the usage of my RAM and CPU. I'm also very careful in what program I install, I also uninstalled all the bloatware.

I'm not sure but it looks like you are using both the External Nividia Graphics Card & the Internal Intel Graphics Card?

Are you using multiple monitors? Make sure that they are connected to the graphics card.

 

CPU & Ram Usage looks very normal.
