    Hi,

    When I run Zwift ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwift), the game sometimes freezes for 20 secs and starts up again. No apparent reason why and it's driving me nuts as I loose all my timing and effort put into the ride. I've added 8 gig of ram (running 16 now) and have done a clean W10 install to no avail. Some days the game will freeze every 5 mins, some days I can get through a full 2 hour ride w/out any freezing at all. Please help before I throw this laptop against a concrete wall... Thanks.

    Hi. That must be annoying, if you are connecting to the internet wirelessly you could try to connect directly to you router via Ethernet cable

    It seems you have plenty of RAM, you don't say if you are running a SSD drive as this could also help with performance
