Laggy plex windows player but chrome is fine?

Server Version#: 1.24.3.5033-757abe6b4 (Qnap)
Player Version#: 1.33.0.2444-a220eae4

So My Plex app for windows is really laggy and does not scroll very well, It takes a long time to load posters and the setting menu is the laggiest part and the scrolling is extremely laggy.
However the app.plex.tv website is super fast and responsive as well as when I visit the server IP for my plex server on chrome, It all works great.
I would just use the ones on chrome however this is where the conundrum comes in.

Plex on chrome struggles to play large video files especially remotely, I have tried all the disabling hardware acceleration on chrome and many other tricks to no avail.
But the desktop app plays videos fine without issue even remotely, However as I said its laggy and is pretty unresponsive at times. This happens on all my computers and even friends pc’s with the windows app. Phones etc work fine also.
Is there anything I can do to make it better and more responsive?
I dont remember this being an issue up until recently.
I have already optimized databases and cleared all data that I can without deleting some of my library as well as uninstalling and re installing.

Not sure if it matters because its an issue on multiple PC’s but my main pc is a Ryzen 7 3800x, 64Gb ram fully updated windows 10. My laptop is a Dell XPS 13 with an intel i5 6200U and 16GB ram on windows 11.

Any Help is appreciated.

Try the test build from Plex for Mac/Windows 1.34.1 Test Builds - #39 by Ric_Cypher

That is the one I am using and the problem is still there. Whatever screen I am in, one click of the back arrow takes me to the home screen, not back one page like it used too.

Well I clearly didnt get a notification people replied haha, But the update a few days ago
1.35.1.2632 seems to have fixed the issue and the app is butter smooth now and works much better.
Must have just been a bug in the old version.
Thanks for the suggestion! It probably would have fixed my issue.

Yes, it much better now.
