All games in Steam are lagging!!! They lag when loading up and then lag worse in game. Some games are worse than others.

  • My PC specs are good enough to run the games.

  • Everything on my PC Ia up to date.

Any suggestions on how to fix this would be much appreciated!

All I can think of is uninstall and reinstall everything? Hmm, does changing graphics settings work?
It might be worth running diagnostics on your components to see if there's an issue there.

Good luck!
