Hi guys.

I am currently having a problem with my PC. I have just reformatted my computer due to some malware. My problem is that for some reason, my windows are now laggy. Whenever I scroll up or down a window, it seems to lag a lot. The computer is running fine but this scroll lag is really annoying.

Does anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks :D

you probably need to reinstall your graphics card drivers.

if youve formatted the pc they would have been wiped off so reinstall them if you havent already

its most likely just the graphics drivers,
