How do I fix NoxPlayer lag on PC?

1. Reinstall NOX

If, after trying all possible fixes, you are still unable to fix NOX emulator lag, the ultimate solution would be to reinstall the program. By reinstalling the Android emulator, you get a fresh (bug-free) app, which should now work perfectly, provided all system requirements have been met.

2. Enable Virtual Technology (VT) on your System

1. Download LeoMoon CPU-V and run it to check if your PC hosts VT.
2. Also, the app would show you if VT is enabled or not.
   • If it is, then something else is causing the lag; otherwise. proceed with the next steps. VT is usually embedded in a PC‘s BIOS.
3. Click the Windows + R keys to open Run dialog box.
4. In the Run box, input Dxdiag.
5. Select OK. This will bring up your PC‘s BIOS details.
6. After bringing up your BIOS details, you can then run BIOS to activate the VT embedded in it.

Virtual Technology (VT) comes inbuilt with most standard computers. However, most times, the VT function is usually disabled, in which case, you are bound to experience some lags while running the NoxPlayer.

To resolve this issue, all you need to do is to enable the VT setting on your system, and you’ll experience a significant boost in the running speed..

The procedure for running BIOS varies across platforms. Hence, depending on your system’s build, the procedure outlined herein might not work for you.

Follow the steps below to run BIOS on your system:

1. Power off your PC and reboot it.
2. On the boot menu, run BIOS by clicking the F2 button (or any of the F-keys, depending on your system).
3. Go to Configuration and locate one of the following:
   • Virtualization
   • Intel Virtual Technology or
   • VT-x.
4. Enable the virtual engine.
5. Hit the F10 button to save changes.
6. Exit

Note: For Win 8 and Win 10 users, make sure you disable the Hyper-V feature on your PC, before enabling the VT function.

Enabling VT on your PC should fix NoxPlayer lag issues, and you can now enjoy optimized Android experience on your PC, via NoxPlayer.

If this doesn’t work, you can try the next troubleshooting fix.

3. Reconfigure the RAM and CPU allocated to NoxPlayer

1. Launch NoxPlayer and navigate to the top right-hand corner of the home page.
2. Click on the Settings option.
3. Under Settings, select Advanced.
4. Check the Customize box.
5. Configure the performance settings as you desire (setting CPU and RAM to higher values is the recommended configuration).
6. Enter the desired value in the designated box for CPU.
7. Do the same for RAM.
8. Click on Save Changes

NoxPlayer should be working at optimum capacity now.

This procedure works in sync with the virtual technology function; hence, if your system does not support VT, you can’t fix NoxPlayerlag using this procedure.

If you are still experiencing lags, you can change the graphics rendering mode (under Advanced settings).

Note: In trying to improve NOX performance via CPU and RAM customization, ensure to leave sufficient CPU and RAM space for the computer to run other system operations. Failure to do this might result in an eventual system crash.

2. On the Select a program to customize drop-down, select NoxPlayer.
3. Under the second drop-down menu, select High-performance NVIDIA processor.
4. Press Apply to save changes.
5. And you are all set!

• Type devmgmt.msc in the box (to launch Device Manager).
• Click on Display adapters to display the graphics card(s).
