How to Speed Up and Use NoxPlayer Without Lag?

NoxPlayer is a name chosen by many right after BlueStacks, but if you find NoxPlayer lagging, here are some instructions to help enhance your experience when using this emulator.

1. Enable Virtual Technology (VT) on Windows

Before you try anything else, check your BIOS details along with whether Virtual Technology on your Windows computer is enabled or not.

To start, download LeoMoonCPU-V. You'll need it to check if your computer supports VT. In this case, the app will tell you whether VT is enabled or not.

Most standard computers come with Virtual Technology (VT) built-in, but in some cases, this function is turned off. In such cases, you are required to enable it, otherwise, the latency issues that NoxPlayer is experiencing will continue to occur.

To enable Virtual Technology (VT), users must boot into the BIOS.

• First, turn off your computer.
• Press the power button when it's off.
• Through the boot menu, press F2 or any other key that supports booting into BIOS.
• Navigate to the Configuration section, then find one of the following options: Virtualization or Intel Virtual Technology or VT-x.
• Turn on virtual tools, then proceed and press F10 to save all changes.
• Exit BIOS and restart your computer. Try NoxPlayer again to see if everything works normally.
