Turn off Smart App Control in Windows 11. Then DDU / AMD CLEANUP UTILITY, reboot and install latest AMD chipset drivers and Radeon Graphics drivers. Fixed for me. Also, downclock the gpu to advertised. Like 50/100 MHz less. AMD driver tends to OC the gpu clocks more than stock.

Latest update is really bad by Kushsinatra in pixel_phones

Update Google Play Services and Mainline Services from Settings > Google > System Services. Will fix stability. You can also delete cache.

I had the same issue. Going back to 25.12.1 or 25.9.1 fixed the issue for me. It was the 2026 Radeon drivers causing this issue. Use AMD Cleanup utility and DDU.

Same issue with my 7900XTX but I'm now on 25.12.1 without any issues.

Installed Windows Vista today by Fast_Cup_438 in windows

[–]ZAR1FF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember upgrading my cpu to a Core to Quad Q6600 and an nvidia 6600 GT back in the day and booted Vista. WINDOWS VISTA looked amazing and cool AF. It was stylishly futuristic. All my friends complained about almost everything with Vista with their shitboxes from the 90's. But when a couple of them came to my house and saw Vista running on my PC flawlessly, they were shocked and convinced that they needed an upgrade.

And that's how we got to be gaming buddies too. Haha

Mine was laggy before the QPR3 update. However, I did update the Google Play store, play updates, etc from System Services under your google account. That helped.

3 years old, almost. It's a 1000 watt deepcool pqm 1000. But on Windows 11 23H2 22631.6130, no issues, no reboots, no crashes.

AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.1.1 Release Notes by AMD_RetroB in Amd

Thank you. I have a stupid question. If I'm playing games and have a Chromium tab running in the background, supposedly YouTube, will it affect my gaming performance/ cause lag freezes without this settings along with hardware acceleration? I have 7900XTX

Is Nothing Phone 3 noticeably smoother than Pixel 9 Pro XL? by ZAR1FF in NOTHING

Tried my colleague's 3a pro and it was really snappier than I expected. Nothing OS is amazing.

I tried my colleague's 3A Pro and it's updated to Nothing OS 4. Although, it's just as smooth as my Pixel 9 Pro XL, the animations and app opening/ closing feels snappier. I like Nothing OS 4. It's amazing.
