FPS drops after alt tabbing

Recommended Posts

Hello all! 

 

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this. But I have the weridest issue. I just got a new laptop, and when I alt tab or press the windows key out of wow it works as intended. But if I go in to the game and press the windows key for the second time, my FPS drops to around 5. I have to exit the game completely and then get back in again for the FPS to be normal again. 

What on earth can this issue be caused by? Anyone who knows a bit more about computers that might give me a hand?

I have this same problem, except I'm not on a laptop; I'm using a desktop and a smart TV, running Windows 10.  I checked the refresh rate, system rate is 60 Hz same as the game.  Did you ever find a solution to this problem?  It's causing serious issues for me.

 

As an FYI, a workaround for me seems to be running the game in windowed mode.  I can click on other things just fine that way and can even alt-tab multiple times without it getting choppy.
