It's been two weeks since the update was released. During play, the game (Apex Legends) briefly lagged for a few seconds before shifting position, similar to what you'd see in a 20-second video clip where someone cuts the middle frame. I've checked my performance using "MSI Afterburner" and "RivaTuner Statistics Server." Everything looks normal: CPU usage stays between 20-25%, GPU usage around 40-55% with temperatures between 55-65°C, RAM usage is about 6-8 GB, and FPS caps at 70 on a 60Hz monitor. I've reinstalled the game twice, tried Windows 10 Custom (using Revio), updated drivers via Driver Booster, and ensured BIOS is current. I've followed various online guides but haven't seen any improvement. The system specs are solid: Ryzen 5600X, B550 Pro RAM, Corsair 16GB RAM, MSI GTX 1660, and a good monitor setup. I've run standard diagnostics (sfc, memory test, CHKDSK) without issues. Everything seems fine except for the persistent lag during gameplay and browsing. Have any users encountered similar problems? Any suggestions could be greatly appreciated.

Review the frame times, spikes indicate stutters. Frequent stuttering usually stems from bloatware or background tasks—Time to remove unnecessary software!

Ensure TPM is disabled after a BIOS update. Gigabyte usually sets it to active by default on many boards.

I need to explain this if you'd like. Let me break it down for you.

It is recognized as a source of issues on AMD platforms. Gigabyte believed the problem was resolved using AGESA 1207 and enabled it by default. The fix was only partial.
