Some users have reported experiencing lag while watching YouTube on Windows 11. If you're facing this issue too, you can check out the methods to fix YouTube lag on Windows 11 that I share in the article, helping you to have the best YouTube viewing experience on your computer.
1. Update all drivers on your computer
The first step when upgrading to a new operating system version is to update all drivers on your computer to the latest version. This helps improve compatibility and greatly enhances smooth operation. To update to the latest version, you need to click This PC and select Manager.

Select Device Manager and Update

2. Change the currently used graphics card
For some apps, compatibility issues with your graphics card version may persist, regardless of how powerful your hardware configuration is. Therefore, try changing the graphics card used by the browser you use to watch YouTube and see if it resolves the issue.
Open Settings and navigate to System > Display > Graphics. Then select the browser you're using and change the graphics card.

3. Disable hardware acceleration on Windows 11
Hardware acceleration, also known as Hardware Acceleration, helps optimize your hardware and make it smoother to use. However, sometimes this feature can cause delays on your computer with hardware that doesn't support it. You can access it by going to Settings > System > Disable hardware acceleration.
