Lagging after Tabbing!

If I am playing a game (as far as I know, any game), and I tab out to Windows to do something else, when I return to the game there is a good chance that it will then suffer from severe lag. This is when I move the mouse (view) around that it stutters and lags. The only remedy I have found is to restart the game.
It will even do it when the content of the screen is frozen (I am in a menu) and just moving the mouse pointer around. The problem manifests as a sharp drop in fps.
This is not a recent problem. It has been doing it for at least a year, probably longer.
Does anyone have a clue what this might be or how to fix it?
I have taken a snapshot of the difference between normal running, solid at the start, then the mess it turns in to if I tab out and tab back in.

I found a solution.
NVIDIA Latency Boost eliminates the lag.

Oh, no, sorry, it's back. I thought that I had, but apparently not.

The thing is that it doesn't normally lag at all, its only when I tab out and back in. It's a nuisance to have to restart the game every time.

See disabling Virtualization-Based Security (VBS) feature of Windows 11 will resolve the problem.
