Pretty much just the title. Trying to play Roblox on Windows 11, but my frames start to get choppy on start page and especially in game. I've tried other apps, not games, such as chrome, but it doesn't seem nearly as choppy as Roblox. I've seen gameplay of Roblox from other people using...

I have tried a few other games that worked, but ESO is not starting. When I press "play" the button goes grey for a few seconds and then back to blue again. No message, no nothing? I tried Europa Universalis 4 and it worked, even though it warned me that I have only 512 mb video memory. I...
