Notifications causing system lag

4.5

Your computer stutters or freezes for a second every time a notification appears.

Symptoms
  • Frame drops
  • Audio crackling
  • Mouse lag during alerts
Possible Causes
  • High-resolution banners
  • Sound driver conflict
  • Low system resources

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Disable Notification Sounds

The audio trigger can sometimes cause a momentary system hang.

2

Turn off Banners

Allow notifications in the center but disable the "pop-up" banners.

3

Update Graphics Driver

The animation for the notification banner uses the GPU; ensure it's running smoothly.

When to See a Technician

Lag during notifications is common on older PCs with slow hard drives or limited RAM.
