Playing games online seems slower and less precise compared to offline play (offline works well).

Hello, I've shared this issue before, but it hasn't been resolved properly.
Describing the problem is difficult, but I'll attempt to do so.
When I'm in an offline game mode—like training or practice—I experience smooth and responsive gameplay as expected. But once I switch to an online game, responsiveness drops significantly, especially with aiming. It could impact movement input, though I'm not sure.
My FPS stays nearly consistent, but it varies between online and offline play (200fps), sometimes dropping to a maximum of 190fps.
My system specs are:
RTX 2060 6GB
I7 8700
16GB Ballistic 3200MHz DDR4 CL16 RAM (recently purchased)
Asus Prime Z390A (recently upgraded)
The issue is quite unusual. I've checked all my network gear and replaced everything with new parts. I've tried several DDUs without success.
The problem becomes even more complicated when it changes depending on the game. Between Overwatch and Valorant, it feels very sluggish, just as I described; in contrast, Warzone feels much better, though still not as smooth as before.
Even so, the symptoms keep shifting. There used to be a 12-player arena mode in Overwatch that felt great online, but once I switched to quickplay, comps, or 3v3, it became frustratingly slow. It never feels consistent. If I rejoin the same mode now, sometimes it works, other times it doesn't.
I'm really frustrated with this situation and am desperate to find someone who can help me solve it.
I've been working on fixing this for a year now. The PC has remained this way since the start, which is why I upgraded the hardware.
I've checked Task Manager multiple times while playing, but there aren't any major issues.
I also close everything except Discord, the game, and a few programs like Steam and Razer Synapse.
One final thought: turning off all Xbox Live applications (by disabling them via services) seemed to help slightly, but it didn't resolve the problem.
I didn't perform a complete reinstall. I just turned on Windows and continued. (I swapped the motherboard in the hope of resolving this)
🙁
Sorry, but they are incorrect. While Windows might function during recycling, the best results occur when the operating system is tailored specifically for the intended hardware.
Your choice is up to you—you can begin with a stable foundation or explore older settings that might affect speed.
Good luck.
Yeah, I understand exactly what you're saying. I've tried various solutions in hopes of resolving this issue, but without success, so I think it's worth giving another try. I'm planning to reinstall the security update and will let you know once it's installed.
EDIT:
I've now reinstalled the hole system. I also noticed that I've been using an outdated BIOS driver, which is why I'm glad I updated to the latest one. I'll provide further updates once I've tested a few games.
