NOTE: Make sure to leave your graphics drivers and audio drivers enabled, along with Windows security. To manage and turn off background applications, type in settings in the search bar, scroll down to Background Apps, and go through the list of applications turning off whichever ones you don’t need. Most of these applications you will never use, so why let them collect data and use up your CPU resources when they aren’t even needed? Step 2: Turn off unnecessary background applicationsīy default, Windows has tons of bloatware that runs in the background. I also recommend selecting the checkbox to run the program as administrator, and override the high DPI settings.
There you will have an option to disable fullscreen optimization. Right click on the FortniteClient-Win64-Shipping icon and click compatibility. For me it was in FortniteGame -> Binaries -> Win64 To disable fullscreen optimization for fortnite, navigate to the Fortnite folder, and find the Windows Shipping Client. By disabling fullscreen optimization, you also disable the V-Sync that Windows 10 for some reason loves to force on any application. If you’ve been messing with settings for some time now, you know that V-Sync is terrible because it adds tons of input lag. Windows has a feature called fullscreen optimization, when it comes to gaming, it will actually force V-Sync on the application.
