    @WinterSnow733  I've moved your thread to the PC tech section for troubleshooting purposes.  First of all, your dxdiag lists a number of failed Windows updates, so it's best to clean those up.  Start with a couple of basic checks on your Windows system files:

    • Hit Windows key-X
    • Choose either “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Windows Terminal (Administrator),” whichever option is offered
    • Inside the window that appears, copy and paste “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth” without quotes into the window, and enter
    • The system will start validating soon. If it throws an error, please list it here
    • After it reaches 100%, hit Windows key-X again
    • Again, choose “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Windows Terminal (Administrator)”
    • Inside the window, copy and paste “sfc /scannow” without quotes into the window, and enter
    • Post the message you receive here

    Restart your computer, hit Windows key-i, select Update & Security, and click the box to check for updates.  If any install, restart again afterwards.

    Next, load the game, play for at least ten minutes, and put it in windowed mode (but don't minimize it).  Open the Task Manager's Processes tab and take a screenshot.  I don't need to see everything, but please include the column headers (showing overall use of CPU, Memory, etc.) as well as everything in the Apps section.  Then click the Performance tab, click on CPU use, and take a screenshot of that window too.  Include the column on the left so I can see an overview of memory, disk, and GPU use as well.
