I got Claude's advice to optimize my computer for better performance, but now my setup is laggy and practically unusable. I've reverted all settings to default and even tried restoring back to April 2, but nothing's working. After applying the changes, when I try to run a game, it nearly crashes the PC, and the GPU usage stays at 0%. I'm looking for any solutions or tips, and I have screenshots of Claude's suggestions if that helps. My specs are Ryzen 5 7600X and 5060 Ti on a B850 Plus motherboard.

It's important to be cautious with changes suggested by AI. If you can't provide details on what Claude told you, a fresh Windows installation might be the best solution. It’s a hassle but could save you a lot of headaches later.
Make sure your PC isn't overheating. Clean out any dust, check that fans are working, and ensure everything is properly seated. Also, consider letting Windows run its updates and do some maintenance; sometimes the system just needs time to stabilize after changes.
Have you considered asking Claude to reverse the optimizations? That could help, but if not, just bear in mind that sometimes Windows might lag a bit after any major changes as it sorts itself out.
Always double-check any advice from AI before making changes to your system. What specific changes did Claude suggest? Knowing that could lead to better troubleshooting!
If you don't have a clear list of the changes made, I'd recommend doing a clean Windows install from a USB and wiping the system partition. It’s often faster and more effective than trying to troubleshoot each change individually.
That makes sense! I might just go that route if I can't find a fix.
I haven't asked Claude to undo anything yet. I'll give it a shot!
