Hello everyone, for now in March I experienced a bothersome problem with my peripherals. There was noticeable delay or input lag across all devices—except my keyboard, which didn’t seem affected. After reinstalling Windows with and without CD, I initially thought it was a hardware issue. I replaced the entire PC, but the problem persisted. Recently, while crashing in PUBG, I watched a troubleshooting video suggesting to disable HPET. I followed their instructions: http://www.mikemartin.co/system_guides/h...timer_hpet and restarted my PC. Immediately after, my system felt noticeably faster and more responsive—though I wasn’t paying much attention because I was focused on fixing PUBG. When I tried disabling HPET again, the lag returned, even without it enabled. I’m trying the commands: bcdedit /deletevalue useplatformclock; bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes to re-enable them. After restarting, I’m still experiencing the delay/lag. Please help—this issue is getting closer to a solution that could save my PC.

Checking your setup: USB hub, front-side USB on the case, or motherboard ports?
