Apex Legends lags my Internet?

Question

This issue has never happened up till recently. No new drivers, no software installations/upgrades, nothing of the sort.

What happens is, whenever Apex Legends is running as the main focus, my Internet speed slows down to the point where my Discord disconnects, and I can't load anything UNTIL I Alt-Tab out or close Apex Legends. I have confirmed this multiple times with other full screen games/applications and none of them lags my Internet.

I ran multiple speed tests on different sites on my second monitor, and I can see my download/upload speed reduce drastically whenever I'm on Apex--while going back up when I alt-tab out of it.

I am not sure what is causing this as I have never experienced this since the launch of Apex Legends.

Please assist!

Hey, @DuhHelloTher&nbsp;make sure that all drivers for windows are up to date, also worth reinstalling the GPU drivers for your PC.

You can also try to do a&nbsp;clean boot&nbsp;to see if there any programs messing with APEX and turn off any overlay programs for example Discord or Nvidia experience.
