Alright! So, my beautiful, high end, ~3000$ USD PC, which is less than one year old, is behaving weirdly. These are the specs, it shouldn't be having any problems with anything period. If anyone can actually deliver a working solution you will have my eternal gratitude. I've tried searching for this issue, applied a lot of suggested fixes, but none of them were a precise match that rectified the situation.
My computer was actually updated by Microsoft to Windows 11 without my informed consent in February 18th of this year, to their credit, I did not actually notice until April 14th when the issues began to crop up. I don't use the settings menu that often and they didn't shuffle my desktop around, sue me. I was enraged, but it was far too late to revert it. I'm also very upset to discover that Windows Update has gone full malware and will continue to operate absolutely no matter what I do, no setting, registry tweak, or group policy will prevent it from receiving updates.
The issues I experience are as follows:
- The volume slider when I use my keyboard peripheral to adjust the volume lags significantly.
- When I hit Printscreen to capture a screenshot with the snipping tool, there's a significant delay, longer than it used to be, before it comes up.
- When I tab back into a full screen game, the FPS tanks for between 10-30 seconds.
- Some games may or may not be performing slightly worse, in these heady days of incredibly awful optimization it can be difficult to say, Helldivers 2 for example, has been performing notably worse the last couple weeks, but that collates with my coworkers who also play.
- At least one other misc issue I can't recall at the moment.
Notably, I ran system restore back in April and it solved the issue for a while, but then it came back. Then the issue went away again When I disabled "Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling".
I've done a lot of "normie tier" fixes, restart it, update the drivers, clear every cache imaginable and so on. I would like to avoid nuking the OS because
1. Lots of work, the nuclear option, weapon of last resort in this situation.
2. Not 100% sure it will solve the problem, especially if it's a windows update causing the issue, which will simply reinstall itself and then I'll be out a LOT of work for nothing.
