Desktop Lag !!!!

[InternalinfernoX]

Hi,
My pc is the following,

Fx 6300
RX 480 8gb
8gb DDR3 RAM
500GB HDD

Heres my problem/question.
You know how when you click and drag on the desktop, it creates a blue drag box, square/rectangle? When I do that, for the first while it is very smooth. But when I highlight more of the desktop and some icons it begins to have a very low framerate, like starts to glitch. Now, I have a old stupid laptop, and I can highlight it and its perfectly smooth on it. So is there a problem with my cpu or something thats not rendering things the way it should? Is there a setting I can change to fix this?

What's your OS? Windows i assume? If so, download Process Explorer, run it and look which program is hogging your system resources (CPU usage) and creates the lag,

It could be dwm.exe high CPU usage but to be sure, look it up from Process Explorer.

Can I just safely disable that?

dwm.exe is responsible for Windows Aero. Disable Windows Aero from control panel to see improvement in performance.

Here's how to disable/enable Aero under Win 7 and Win Vista,

Under Win 8 and Win 10: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/disable-visual-effects-windows

On my Skylake build (with Win7 Pro SP1 64-bit), i have dwm.exe using about 0.15% of my i5-6600K. If yours use more (e.g 22%) and you still want to use Windows Aero then programs that can cause high dwm.exe usage are AVG and Avast anti-virus software, MS Office outdated version, Logitech SetPoint and Outlook.
