Windows是全球最大的 PC 游戏平台，Windows 10是具有最前沿游戏支持的最新版本。甚至Xbox Series X及其前身Xbox One也可以在特定版本的Windows上运行。因此，在闪亮的Windows 10 游戏 PC 上加载游戏可能会令人失望，结果却发现游戏卡顿，破坏了整个体验。
什么是Windows 10(Windows 10)上的游戏“口吃” ？
困难之一是用户将不同的问题描述为“口吃”，即使完全不同的原因导致它们。口吃可能是玩游戏时的一种节奏性搭扣，可能是随机的间歇性冻结，也可能是帧速率以一种摇摇晃晃的方式上下摆动。
关闭墙纸幻灯片
在对每隔几分钟就会冻结和卡顿的Windows安装感到沮丧数周后，我们发现了这个修复程序。事实证明，无论您是在玩游戏还是在Office中工作，墙纸幻灯片切换都会将整台计算机锁定一秒钟。如果您打开了墙纸幻灯片，请将其禁用或增加墙纸之间的时间，这样就不会经常发生冻结。
要禁用Windows壁纸幻灯片，请右键单击桌面(Desktop)并选择个性化(Personalize)。在“背景(Background)”部分下，您应该会看到以下窗口：
将背景下拉菜单(Background dropdown)更改为幻灯片(Slideshow)以外的其他内容，并在完成后关闭窗口。
更新到最新的 Windows(Latest Windows)（或返回）
在Windows 10首次推出时，视频游戏性能和卡顿等问题相对普遍。每次更新后，微软(Microsoft)都解决了大部分投诉。在大多数情况下，当今Windows 10(Windows 10)计算机上的视频游戏性能完美无缺。当您在Windows 10上遇到卡顿等问题时，值得检查是否有适用于您的Windows 10版本的新更新。如果幸运的话，问题已经解决了。
有时，最新的Windows更新会引入口吃。这并不常见，但新的Windows更新会引入游戏性能问题(game performance issues)。您可以卸载 Windows 更新(uninstall Windows Updates)以查看是否可以解决问题，然后等到Microsoft在后续补丁中解决该问题。
当然，您不应该仅仅因为最新的更新与您的问题重合就认为应该归咎于它，在您开始左右删除更新之前，先在谷歌上搜索一下是否有其他人遇到类似的问题。
打开（或关闭）游戏模式
Windows 10 在操作系统首次交付给客户后不久就引入了“游戏模式”。此模式以视频游戏获得最高优先级的方式管理计算机资源。
在最新版本的Windows 10中，游戏模式(Game Mode)似乎默认开启。但是，如果您在游戏中遇到口吃，您需要检查它是否打开。您所要做的就是在“设置(Settings)”中或直接从“开始”菜单(Start Menu)中搜索“游戏模式(Game Mode)” 。然后，只需将开关切换到“开”位置。
有点讽刺的是，如果您在激活游戏模式时遇到口吃，您可能想尝试关闭它。(Game Mode)我们已经看到一些用户报告说，他们的口吃问题仅仅通过禁用此选项就消失了。
在单独的驱动器上安装游戏
视频游戏卡顿的一个潜在原因是包含Windows的驱动器上的访问争用。卡顿不是现代固态驱动器(solid-state drives)( SSD(SSDs) ) 的问题，但如果您的主系统驱动器仍然是机械模型，则游戏和Windows可能会争夺轮流访问数据。
最佳解决方案是用SSD替换您的主驱动器，但如果您不能这样做，将视频游戏安装在与Windows磁盘不同的驱动器上是释放带宽的好方法。
打开垂直同步
虽然这与Windows(Windows)不完全相关，但它会影响所有Windows游戏 PC，几乎所有游戏 PC！通过打开Vsync（在游戏菜单或GPU设置中），您将确保游戏产生的每一帧都与显示器的刷新率同步。这解决了Windows 10(Windows 10)上由于游戏和显示器之间的同步不匹配而导致的常见类型的卡顿。
Vsync是游戏中相当重要的主题，我们建议您阅读什么是 Vsync 以及您应该使用它吗？(What Is Vsync and Should You Use It?)深入了解它的作用以及它为何如此重要。
使用帧速率限制
如果您的CPU和GPU试图渲染尽可能多的视频游戏帧，则会增加发生表现为卡顿的小问题的可能性。
您可以通过设置游戏应渲染的帧数限制来减少此问题。现代游戏的菜单中通常有一个帧限制滑块，但您也可以在显卡的软件实用程序中找到每个游戏或系统范围的帧限制。
顺便说一句，激活Vsync也可以作为帧限制器。例如，如果您开启了Vsync并且显示器以 60Hz 运行，则游戏每秒渲染的帧数不会超过 60 帧。对于大多数玩家来说，渲染比屏幕显示更多的帧没有任何实际目的。然而，一些有竞争力的游戏玩家在玩游戏时会受益于减少的延迟，即使他们的显示器不能显示每一帧。
你的电脑太热了吗？
如果CPU(CPU)和GPU等组件过热，它们的性能将会降低。这可能会导致性能问题，表现为口吃。如果您的游戏卡顿总是在您先体验流畅的游戏一段时间后出现，您可能需要检查：
- 所有的风扇都在旋转。
- 计算机周围有足够的空间供气流使用。
- 所有散热器均已正确就位。
如上所述，您还可以通过使用Vsync或帧限制来减少CPU和GPU的负载。(GPU)
是 Windows 问题吗？
各种问题都可能导致游戏卡顿，而且并非所有问题都是 Windows 的错。如果只有一个特定的游戏卡顿，则更有可能是该游戏特有的问题。如果您的所有游戏都卡顿，则可能是您的硬件驱动程序(drivers)（例如，您的GPU 驱动程序(drivers)）或在后台运行的其他软件存在问题。
个别游戏的卡顿通常与游戏内设置过高、游戏有问题或硬盘驱动器速度慢有关，而不是Windows本身的问题。
个人电脑是由不同公司制造的软件和硬件的复杂系统。通常情况下，不是任何单个部件损坏，而是几个软件和硬件组件不能正常合作。这可能会使问题难以隔离，但采取逐步诊断方法是解决口吃和类似问题的最佳机会。
How to Fix Game Stuttering in Windows 10
Windows iѕ the largest PС gaming platform globally, with Windows 10 being the latest verѕion with the most cutting-edge game support. Even the Xbox Series X and its Xbox One predecessor run on a particular version of Windows. So it can be disappointing to load up a game on your shiny Windows 10 gaming PC, only to find your game stuttering, ruining the entire experience.
What Is Game “Stutter” on Windows 10?
One of the difficulties is that users describe different issues as “stutter,” even if entirely different things cause them. Stuttering can be a type of rhythmic hitching while playing your game, it can be random intermittent freezes, or it could be a frame rate that’s swinging up and down in a lurching fashion.
Turn Off the Wallpaper Slideshow
We found this fix after weeks of frustration with a Windows installation that would freeze and stutter every few minutes. It turns out that, whether you’re playing a game or working in Office, a wallpaper slideshow changeover will lock up the whole computer for a second. If you have a wallpaper slideshow switched on, disable it or increase the time between wallpapers, so freezes don’t happen as often.
To disable the Windows wallpaper slideshow, right-click on the Desktop and select Personalize. Under the Background section, you should see this window:
Change the Background dropdown to something other than Slideshow and close the window when you’re done.
Update to the Latest Windows (or Go Back)
When Windows 10 first launched, video game performance and issues such as stuttering were relatively common. With each update, Microsoft has addressed most of the complaints. For the most part, video game performance on Windows 10 computers today is flawless. When you do encounter an issue such as stuttering on Windows 10, it’s worth checking whether there’s a new update available for your version of Windows 10. If you’re lucky, the problem has already been addressed.
Sometimes, it’s the latest Windows update that introduces stutter. This isn’t common, but it has happened that new Windows updates introduce game performance issues. You can uninstall Windows Updates to see if that fixes things, then wait until Microsoft addressed the issue in a follow-up patch.
Of course, you shouldn’t just assume that the latest update is to blame just because it coincided with your problem, do a little googling to see if anyone else is having a similar issue before you start deleting updates left and right.
Toggle Game Mode On (or Off)
Windows 10 has a “game mode” introduced shortly after the operating system first shipped to customers. This mode manages the computer’s resources in such a way that video games get the highest priority.
In the latest version of Windows 10, Game Mode seems to be switched on by default. However, if you’re experiencing stutters in your games, you’ll want to check if it’s on. All you have to do is search for “Game Mode” in Settings or directly from the Start Menu. Then, simply toggle the switch to the “On” position.
In a somewhat ironic twist, you might want to try turning Game Mode off if you’re experiencing stutters with it activated. We’ve seen some users report that their stutter issues went away simply by disabling this option.
Install Games on a Separate Drive
One potential cause of stuttering in a video game is access contention on the drive that contains Windows. Stuttering isn’t a problem with modern solid-state drives (SSDs), but if your main system drive is still a mechanical model, the game and Windows could be fighting for turns to access data.
The optimal solution is to replace your main drive with an SSD, but if you can’t do that, installing your video games on a different drive to your Windows disk is an excellent way to free up bandwidth.
Turn On Vsync
While this is not strictly Windows-related, it affects all Windows gaming PCs, which almost all gaming PCs! By turning on Vsync (in the game menus or your GPU settings), you’ll ensure that every frame a game produces is synced to your monitor’s refresh rate. This solves a common type of stutter on Windows 10 caused by a mismatch in synchronization between the game and your monitor.
Vsync is quite an essential topic in gaming, and we suggest you read What Is Vsync and Should You Use It? to get a solid understanding of what it does and why it’s essential.
Use a Frame Rate Limit
If your CPU and GPU are trying to render as many video game frames as possible, you increase the chances that minor hiccups may happen that manifest as stutters.
You can reduce this issue by setting a limit on how many frames the game should render. Modern games usually have a frame limit slider within their menus, but you’ll also find per-game or system-wide frame limits within your graphics card’s software utility.
Incidentally, activating Vsync also acts as a frame limiter. For example, if you have Vsync on and the monitor is running at 60Hz, the game will render no more than 60 frames a second. For most players, rendering more frames than your screen can display doesn’t have any real purpose. However, some competitive gamers benefit from reduced latency when playing, even if their monitor can’t show every frame.
Is Your Computer Too Hot?
Components such as the CPU and GPU will throttle their performance if they get too hot. This can cause performance problems that can manifest as stutters. If your game stutters always come after you’ve experienced smooth gameplay for some time first, you may want to check that:
- All the fans are spinning.
- The computer has enough room around it for airflow.
- All heatsinks are correctly seated.
As mentioned above, you can also reduce the load on your CPU and GPU by using Vsync or frame limits.
Is It a Windows Problem?
Various issues can cause stuttering in games, and not all of them are Windows’ fault. If only one particular game stutters, it’s more likely a problem specific to that title. If all your games stutter, it may be an issue with your hardware drivers (e.g., your GPU drivers) or other software running in the background.
Stuttering in individual games often has more to do with in-game settings that are too high, a buggy game, or a slow hard drive than problems with Windows itself.
A PC is a complex system of software and hardware, all made by different companies. More often than not, it’s not so much that any single part is broken, but that several software and hardware components just aren’t cooperating properly. That can make it hard to isolate an issue, but taking a step-wise diagnostic approach is the best chance you have of resolving stuttering and similar problems.
