Audio and video discrepancy and lag issues are quite common in Microsoft Windows. When it comes to such issues, there are a lot of factors that contribute to this mess. One of the major factors is Windows calling out to get rid of files or data that is disturbing the normal operation of the operating system.
Let’s discuss some ways as to how you can solve the problem and prevent it in the future as well.
Clean Temporary Files
There are many temporary files created on your computer as a result of different programs being installed, web browsing etc. These files create a crowd and can directly affect the overall performance of the machine. In some cases, they can interfere with the settings of your computer as well and cause the computer to lag. You can try cleaning up temporary files to remove the lag.
Head over to the Devices and drives section in This PC and select the drive you wish to clean up. You can either select all the drives or a particular drive.
Right-click the drive and select Disk Cleanup.
The computer will now scan for files and after a few seconds open a new window with different file types you can delete. Select Temporary Internet Files and click OK.
