Hi @29F8-4A67-B8CC- 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! We're here to help you get back up and running.

Thanks for reporting this so clearly—it sounds like your Victus 15-fa0000 is experiencing a frustrating lag spike during login, possibly tied to a background process or driver hiccup. 

The brief flash of a command prompt window suggests something is initializing behind the scenes, which could be slowing down the transition from lockscreen to desktop.

Let’s walk through a few targeted steps to help resolve this:

🛠️ Step-by-Step Fix for Login Lag & Optimization

1. Power Reset

This clears residual power and resets hardware signals:

• Shut down your laptop completely.
• Unplug the power adapter.
• Press and hold the power button for 15 seconds.
• Plug the adapter back in and power on.

2. Update Graphics Drivers

Outdated or mismatched drivers can cause display lag:

• Use HP Support Assistant to scan and install the latest drivers.
• Or manually download from the HP Victus 15-fa0000 support page.

3. Check Startup Apps

Too many background apps can delay desktop loading:

• Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
• Go to the Startup tab and disable non-essential apps (like Discord, OneDrive, etc.).

4. Adjust Power Settings

• Go to Control Panel > Power Options.
• Select High Performance or Ultimate Performance (if available).
• Also check Settings > System > Power & Battery and set performance mode when plugged in.

5. BIOS Settings

Sometimes BIOS updates reset performance modes:

• Restart and press Esc or F10 to enter BIOS.
• Look for settings like Performance Mode, Dynamic Tuning, or Thermal Configuration.
• Set them to Max Performance, then save and exit.

6. Disable Xbox Game Bar & Overlays

• Go to Settings > Gaming > Xbox Game Bar and turn it off.
• Also disable overlays from apps like Discord or GeForce Experience.

Let me know how it goes, and I’ll help you fine-tune further if needed. You’re doing the right thing by tackling this early! 💪
