This can be done at the link

If you have any USB controllers (or other devices) connected to your network, try unplugging them. Crashes on startup with crash module names ntdll.dll and EZFRD64.DLL can (in particular for the latter) be related to USB controllers or PS2 to USB adapters (for various games).

If you get api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll errors on Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, Microsoft has released a patch to fix this problem.

WWE 2k22 not full screen

Press ALT + ENTER. Check your game settings (windowed mode, resolution, etc.).

Poor performance in WWE 2k22

Use our recommendations to optimize your PC. Install the latest video adapter driver (Nvidia, AMD, or Intel). Reboot your PC. Set a lower resolution and use a lower visual effects complexity in the WWE 2k22 options.

While you run the risk of infecting your computer with a virus. Reinstall Windows. This method should be used as a last resort when other options have not worked. The thing is that after several years of work your "operating system" grows with obsolete files and processes so much that the work of applications is noticeably slowed down.

Use overclocking components

The processor and graphics card in your PC can be overclocked. The result of overclocking computer components is increased heat dissipation, and therefore a reduction in service life. Therefore, first of all, you should take care of good cooling. As a rule, all modern motherboards have a specialized set of utilities from the manufacturer, with which you can safely overclock a video card, processor or RAM. Please note that some processors, in principle, cannot be overclocked. Also, don't try to overclock your laptop. Detailed overclocking instructions can be found on specialized sites.
