We recommend updating to the latest build of Windows 10 and update your video card driver too. With 4 CPUs I recommend disabling afterburner and all overlays before playing to see if you have improved results.

oh ok i did do that before and it wasn't very entertaining to get back all the disabled services and i lost some very important stuff like database server and these stuff and it was so time consuming, so if there is a way to restore the default running services i'll try that solution
