VortexBane Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Every time I finish playing Skyrim, saving and exiting through the menus to the desktop, my Windows start bar lags when highlighting icons docked on it and lags when pressing the Start button. It only happens when exiting Skyrim. Any ideas as to why this occurs? Any help would be greatly appreciated. :ohdear: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robynah Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Ive not heard of or encountered any skyrim specific issue like this. There is a known issue with Steam however where audiodg (the windows vista/7 sound process) will remain active, and in some cases ramp up CPU usage, even after quitting a steam game. The solution to this is to exit and restart steam. That shouldn't have as detrimental an affect as youre describing, but you never know. What graphic card etc do you use?

I'll give your idea a go next time I play. Thanks. EDIT: Didn't work. I still get the same issue. Startbar slowdown after exiting Skyrim.
