When trying to play certain games, mouse or keyboard inputs often result in the game dropping to 1 FPS for roughly two seconds. Controller inputs, especially XInput, do not trigger this problem. This issue has only impacted three titles so far: Retrowave, KOTOR 2, and HROT. I first encountered it when launching Retrowave on June 11. I quit quickly and tried KOTOR 2 to confirm the same behavior. Except for HROT, which led to this report, I haven’t experienced this in other games I’ve started. I’ve played all of them via Steam.

I explored several fixes: changed window modes (Fullscreen, Windowed, Borderless when available), adjusted FPS limits and Vsync settings, used Borderless Gaming from Steam, turned off all monitors except the gaming one (144hz, 1440p), and performed a graphics driver clean install. Updated the driver recently.

I also removed the graphics driver and reinstalled it a few months ago, deleted the games and relocated them to different drives. At this stage, I’m uncertain what further steps might help.

I notice you've attempted to update your graphics card, but haven't considered reverting to an earlier version if needed. - (you'll need to handle this yourself) - This could be the best starting point unless there are other relevant changes.

Was eine vollständige Entfernung des aktuellen Treibers und die Installation eines Treibers aus März erfolgt und das Problem weiterhin besteht?

Have you set up a Restore Point on your operating system?
In the search bar at the bottom of the taskbar, enter
Create a restore point
and choose it from the available options.
On the
System Protection
section in
System Properties,
click
Create.
Enter a name for the restore point and click
Create
>
OK.
If you have a previous restore point before the issue occurred, you can use it to restore everything back to its original state.

Do you have any keyboard or mouse programs set up? That might be the cause. A keylogger could be hiding there on your device.

I have the no wifi version of ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi) fTPM that was causing the stutter. If you are not comfortable updating your bios heres a work around for AMD:
Also, what are your Mouse and Keyboard specs?
Mouse:
Keyboard:
Source:
https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/pa-410
Workaround:
As an immediate solution, affected customers dependent on fTPM functionality for Trusted Platform Module support may instead use a hardware TPM (“dTPM”) device for trusted computing. Platform dTPM modules utilize onboard non-volatile memory (NVRAM) that supersedes the TPM/SPIROM interaction described in this article.
COMPATIBILITY:
Please check with your system or motherboard manufacturer to ensure that your platform supports add-in dTPM modules before attempting or implementing this workaround.
WARNING:
If switching an active system from fTPM to dTPM, it is critical that you disable TPM-backed encryption systems (e.g. BitLocker Drive Encryption) and/or back up vital system data prior to switching TPM devices. You must have full administrative access to the system, or explicit support from your IT administrator if the system is managed. For more information on transferring ownership to a new TPM device, please visit
