How to activate BlueStacks VT
When using BlueStacks, there are times when the frame rate suddenly drops or stuttering occurs. In this case, you can solve the problem by updating the graphics driver or using virtualization settings.
1. Check if virtualization can be set up
First, you need to check whether PC virtualization settings are possible. If you select Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) – Performance – CPU, you can check whether virtualization is available as shown in the image.
2. Enter BIOS
If your PC is capable of virtualization, you can use virtualization settings by entering the BIOS. Enter the BIOS by referring to the BIOS entry shortcut key for each motherboard.
