Hello,

I have an issue with my Unreal Engine 5.3.2

My editor is very very laggy, actually unusable whenever i use it full screen.

I tried to modify the RHI → Switched to Dx 11, vulkan instead of Dx12 nothing changed.

I disabled the plugin UDP, nothing changed.

Any ideas?

My PC :

𝘊𝘗𝘜 : 𝘈𝘔𝘋 𝘚𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘵 𝘈𝘔4 𝘙𝘺𝘻𝘦𝘯 7 5800𝘹

𝘎𝘗𝘜 : 𝘔𝘚𝘐 𝘙𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘰𝘯 𝘙𝘟 6700 𝘟𝘛 12𝘎

𝘚.𝘚.𝘋 : 𝘊𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘗2 𝘊𝘛500𝘗2𝘚𝘚𝘋8 𝘕𝘝𝘔𝘦 500 𝘎𝘖

𝘙𝘈𝘔 : 𝘗𝘕𝘠 𝘟𝘓𝘙8 𝘎𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘌𝘱𝘪𝘤-𝘟 𝘙𝘎𝘉™ 𝘋𝘋𝘙4 3600𝘔𝘏𝘻 16𝘎𝘉 (2𝘹8𝘎𝘉) 𝘹2

Thanks for help !

Yes it does.

To be very specific,

It laggs anytime i enter the unreal engine top menu and choose a category.

It works perfectly when i’m using window mode ,

But full screen i cant use top menu, it just freezes like it’s loading something.

Very annoying thing…

I did reset my pc, uninstalled multiple times.

My drivers are updated…

I tried to execute as administrator mode.

hmm this sound like a gpu issue, try to switch to another engine version like 5.2  
or if you have another gpu to test it out.

Try out this one: [Intense lag when clicking the menu bar? 5.0.3 - #18 by Low.key.Me](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/intense-lag-when-clicking-the-menu-bar-5-0-3/692437/18)

or try to roll back to an old gpu driver
