Terrible performance, laggy user interface in every app HP Zbook Fury G10

[jarray]

I am having a hard time with my HP Zbook Fury 16 G10.

Specs:

i7-13850HX

Nvidia RTX3500

4*16 GB RAM (64 GB)

Multiple NVME SSDs from Samsung.

Windows 11 latest updates and drivers all installed

My previous mobile workstation (HP Zbook Fury 15 G8 i7-11850h, 96 GB RAM and also couple of Samsung SSDs inside, latest Windows 11 updates and drivers also) runs as it has always been running: Smooth, fast, reliable and performance was never an issue.

I have had the G10 Fury for almost a year now and I cant figure out one thing:

Why is it lagging always? Why is it running the same virtual machines with the same software and with the same configuration much worse?

Am I the only one having problems like this?

I really think that the G10 has some hardware or driver issues, it should not be that laggy and slow.

I just had a Dell 7780 for a couple of days with the same processor and it was unbelievable fast, not a single laggy moment on that.

Please help/give me advice how to make the G10 Fury performant like my G8 Fury.

Update 16.07.2025:
I resolved the issue!
I have had some time to further investigate the bad performance of my HP Zbook Fury G10.
1. Updated Windows 11 to it´s lastest version and updated ALL drivers to the latest. -> No result, still bad performance and lagging.
2. I benchmarked my HP Zbook Fury G10´s CPU with CPU-Z and compared the results to my HP Zbook Fury 15 G8 -> The G10`s CPU was underperforming the G8´s and it was lagging noticably in basic tasks.
3. I removed some RAM modules to see if it was the issue -> No result, the probelm was not caused by RAM modules.
4. Changed every possible setting on Windows 11 to have a better performance -> No result, the probelm was not caused by Windows power settings.
5. I went to BIOS and checked every setting which might be the culprit and I found one setting different to my HP Zbook Fury G8:
Under Power Management Options the Power Control was enabled on the G10. -> Disabling the Power Control solved my issue!
I disabled it and right after the first boot of my G10 I already knew that it was the problem. My HP Zbook Fury G10 outperformed the CPU scores of my G8 with significantly higher scores and the lagging is gone. My VMs are running much better now and I feel that the performance is much better, the CPU is also running better.BIOS -> Advanced -> Power Management Options -> Disable Power Control

Hello jarray.

There have been quite a few users with post-G9 systems that have complained about the performance. These are just two of these posts: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-System-and-Recovery/serious-performance-issues-G10-...

Official HP Support advice is obviously to update-update-update everything. To be honest if this were my system I'd try a fresh Win10 install. Intel advertised how Win11 together with the UEFI firmware take full control of these multicore CPUs and use it in the best possible way, but I've seen enough reports where all this doesn't work as it should, and the simpler Win10 is the only thing that gives full performance. At least if your system functions smoothly like that, you'll know the problem is not HARDWARE. Other than that, you can use this third party portable tool and see what kind of limits pop-up when using your system. HP is one of the laptop manufacturers that use various throttling schemes on their powerful systems, which are meant to avoid overheating, but sometimes these power limits are too aggressive and cause glitchy behaviour. Sometimes you can adjust these limits with this tool.
