Slow and stuttery

Hi
I’m trying to see if there is a solution to the game being so slow and stuttery.
On log-in it takes forever to start, on undock it takes a long time to get into space, on clicking something the lag is so bad before the command is registered, when I get to an asteroid field everything is stuttery, the image moves like a it’s breaking bit by bit the opposite of smooth…
I don’t know much about computers and was thinking maybe there are things I could do about it in the settings.
I have tried a few things but did not improve anything. I am running Windows10 and have 16Gb of memory.
Anyone can help?
Thank you.

First shut down the launcher, I had this issue too. For some reason? The launcher messes with my Windows 10 when I am playing the game as well. I also took the time to have the launcher download the full game. You can find the option in the launcher settings.

Have fun!
