Gallery all of a sudden very laggy

I started playing again a week ago (took a month break or something like that) and noticed the gallery is just very very laggy, i thought it were my mods so i removed those, still lag then updates my driver, still lagging.

 

I always was able to play on high/ultra, when building or playing the game i have no actual lag, just when i enter the gallery, and its getting really annoying because its mostly impossible to try houses out without the wait and the lag.

 

I got the latest update and tried reparing the game aswell.

Thanks in advance

 

Dxdiag included 

  • @Ciralias  Funny you should mention Avast.  A couple of the errors in your dxdiag list notificationcontroller.dll; these errors seem to often be related to an issue with Avast.  Before uninstalling it, you could try one approach that appears to have worked for other people:

    • Open the Start menu, and select Settings
    • Click System > Apps and Features, and find Avast on the list
    • Select Modify, then uncheck do not disturb
    • Restart your computer and test.  To keep things simple, try another clean boot first.

    I don't have Avast myself, so I can't check whether this setting is accessible.  If not, you can try temporarily deactivating Avast, just to confirm that it's the source of your lag.  Here's how to disable "core shields":

    @Ciralias  Glad to hear it worked.  Hopefully the change will stick, but if it doesn't, please let us know.  Plenty of people use Avast, so it's very helpful to have the info either way.
