Tabbing In and Out of Fullscreen Games takes a Long Time

Hi,

So I have laptop with specs that should run most games perfectly fine:

i7
8gb ram (2 4gb cards)
nvidia 970m
1tb hdd 7200rpm


But recently (may have began after a windows 10 update but i cant remember) my comp has been taking huge amounts of time to tab out and especially to tab back into fullscreen games. I would say on average it takes about 30-45 seconds to tab back in which if you actually imagine clicking to tab back in and waiting that long, causes huge issues. I cannot remember exactly when it started but I don't think there was an issue when I was last at college so maybe 3 or 4 months ago. It would tab in and out in a second or two.


I am not looking for a solution such as playing in modes other than fullscreen (windowed, etc) since I have a good comp and should not have to do that to begin with. I have many friends with weaker specs (i5's, lower gpu, etc) who do not have this issue but also do not have an SSD.

I have ordered an SSD but I honestly would like a fix other than that if anyone has any ideas. I've seen this question posted in a lot of different places but haven't found a strong answer.

start your computer then start task manager and look and see if anything is taking up most of something if so what programs are they

No everything is perfectly normal. Just the things that I am using take up resources but nothing substantial.
