Aurora on pokerstars

Is it still called Aurora now on stars? There are so many issues with the software.

1. Pokerstars Lobby (Not Responding) - Does anyone here have this message on the top left corner every single time when you close the stars client? Everytime I go and close the client, it shows Not Responding for a bit and software freezes for a while and then it closes every single time. It never closes smoothly ever. Do you need to uninstall software and reinstall and that would fix it?

2. The fold and call button boxes disappear in some tables? I had this happen at many tables. When the action is on you, you would have the fold and call and raise amount bet boxes there. However, many times the fold button display box would disappear. Sometimes both the fold and call buttons disappear and only the raise box shows up. Is this some glitch or something? This happens with several tables.

3. Tables constantly freezing and lagging and crashing? I notice this issue happening mainly when I have a high table count. Now usually if 12 tables or less, it doesn't have this issue. But once it's like 16 tables or more, the lag is very bad. By bad, I mean you using your mouse to click or hotkey to perform an action either doesn't work or it takes at least 10 clicks at the minimum. Many times it wouldn't even work and then you fold and sit out. Now I do use HEM3 and starscaption but why is this happening still? Was there some recent software update that caused all this?

4. What GPU does stars use when you play? When it was aurora, I recall it was using my GPU which is the Nvidia Geforce RTX 3050. My main graphics card is the Intel Iris Xe Graphics card. At the moment, I think it only uses the Intel one? The reason being on task manager when playing, it always shows a 0% for GPU 0 for Nvidia 3050 so that means it's using the Intel Iris Xe? The Intel Iris Xe always shows a percentage in task manager. Which graphics card is it using for you when you play on stars? Is it possible to make it use the Nvidia RTX 3050? Would it help with lag and all those issues?

5. What is the correct graphics and animations settings you want to make the software go as smoothly as possible? I already have it as carbon lite theme. But what about below? Should graphics quality be set high or make it low? What about frame rate? Default is high.
