In games with a window - so not full screen - delay is often a problem. The game on the screen often does not run smoothly and a game cannot be played optimally.
To prevent this, Microsoft has Windows 11 Insider build version 22545 and higher added a new feature called “Optimizations for windowed games”.
Optimizations for windowed games work by upgrading the old presentation model used by a game to a modern model. Games that already DirectX 12 users don't have to worry. These games already benefit from the new performance model. Read more about these presentation models.
Optimizations for windowed games significantly improve latency and improve others game features unlocked, including Auto HDR en Dynamic Refresh Rate.
Enable or disable optimization for windowed games in Windows 11
To enable this new feature, first open the settings. Click the Start button and click Settings.
Then click on System on the left and then on Display.
Navigate a bit down until you reach “Related settings”. Click on “Graphics”.
Then click on the “Change image default settings” link.
Then enable or disable the “Optimization for windowed games” feature.
Reduce latency and use advanced features in compatible games using the flip performance model. You must restart your game for changes to take effect”.
This is a feature carried over from Insider build 22545 and later. It is currently unclear whether this feature will also be available in official Windows 11 versions.
I hope this helped you. Thank you for reading!
