Huge lag in game due graphics error Intel

I have a huge lag in game Fortnite I never had before!

The problem started about 2 days ago.

While playing, about every minute my whole game freezes for 10-20 seconds,

I can't move in the game.

Then after those 10-20 seconds I can move again and I will see a bad connection logo on my gameplay screen. (red wifi logo) 

Game freeze (lag)Game freeze (lag)Back to normal, sign of no connectionBack to normal, sign of no connection

It's different from when I ever experienced bad wifi connection, because you normally would get first a yellow wifi logo and there is no sign of bad wifi i actually have really fast wifi connection.

The thing is, this problem came out of no where, I had no issue before and there's nothing that has changed (like same settings, no bad wifi connection), also on my Playstation I have no problems with the game or wifi at all.

I checked out all Fortnite inscructions, but it seems there's not where the problem lies because the problem is still there.

So also 7 days ago (before I had this issue) I upgraded my Laptop from Windows 10 to Windows 11 but still played the game for days and there was no problem at all.

I even downgraded back to Windows 10 to check if it worked like it used to, and then when I opened up Fortnite I had this: Picture #1Picture #1

I went to the url and installed some downloads at  ''Intel® Driver & Support Assistant''

I saw 3 newest updates, so I updated and then I saw this:

intel driver & support assistantintel driver & support assistant

I have no other updates on my laptop.

Evertything else seems to work fine and is the same like it was before so I don't know what to do anymore or what the problem is.. 😞
