Fix 1  – Modify the registry

Modify the registry on your computer to solve the problem.

1. First, type “regedit” in the search box beside the Windows icon.

2. Then hit Enter to access the Registry Editor on your computer.

3. When you have opened the Registry Editor on your computer, expand the left side to go to this place~

6. Now, to change the value of this delay, double click on this key.

7. In the Edit DWORD (32-bit) Value window, put “0“.

8. Then, click on “OK“.

Close the Registry Editor window and restart your device to let this change take effect.

After restarting the problem won’t bother you again.

Fix 2 – Turn off the Shadow play

2. Then, click on “GeForce Experience” in the search results.

3. In the GeForce Experince window, go to the “General” tab.

4. Then, uncheck the “IN-OVER OVERLAY” settings.

8. Then, click on “Apply” to apply these settings.

Close the application. Restart your machine and check if the problem is still there or not.

Maybe your old graphics driver is causing this issue on your computer.

1. Press the Windows key+X.

2. Then, click on “Device Manager“.

3. In the Device Manager appears, expand the “Display adapters“.

4. Right-click on the graphics adapter and then click on “Update driver“.

5. Now, to let Windows search for the driver itself and install it on your computer, click on “Search automatically for drivers“.
