Since updating to Windows 11, I have had a lot of problems. A big issue I am facing is that I cannot use Zoom properly with my external Webcam. It works at the beginning of the call but then everything starts to lag soon after. There's video is not syncing with audio and is a few seconds behind. I notice during the call the the laptops fan starts to kick in and the battery starts to deplete rapidly. I've never had this experience with Windows 10. My computer is a Huawei Matebook Pro (2021 Model) and the internal webcam is in the keypad so an external is vital for me.

All drivers are up to date so I am unsure how to correct this?

Other issues I am experiencing right now is lagging. Computer is not as responsive, web pages are slower to load as well as apps.
Past issues were with Wifi but that corrected with a new update.

Hi @Androlyn , so sorry for the inconveniences. So if I understood your complaint, the main issue here is that your computer is lagging, right?
And you also make it clear that you start having this experience when you updated to Windows 11.

First:
Windows 11 Requirement: These are the minimum system requirements for installing Windows 11 on a PC. Your PC might probably be misbehaving if it meets the lowest requirement and not the recommended requirement. You can use the Link Removed to assess compatibility. Note that this app does not check for graphics card or display, as most compatible devices will meet those requirements listed below.
