The issue is a random and unpredictable stutter.
Greetings,
I enjoy playing video games on my personal computer, which I have been using for several years. However, beginning last week, some of my games are experiencing significant performance problems without a clear explanation. Restarting the computer often resolves the issue temporarily, but subsequent startup attempts can lead to similar performance degradation. My games include Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Rocket League, Apex Legends, and World of Tanks.
Typically, I achieve frame rates of 180+ in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, 150 in Rocket League, and 75 in Apex Legends. Recently, I've encountered a persistent stutter that has reduced these frame rates to the 30s and 40s, rendering the games unplayable for me as a competitive player. I have analyzed my system’s performance metrics – CPU, GPU, and RAM – during these instances of stuttering, and I have not observed any abnormalities. My RAM utilization is consistently at half capacity, my CPU does not reach maximum usage continuously, and it remains cool. My overclocks for both the CPU and GPU were stable following testing months ago, and I have sufficient storage space. I am unable to identify the root cause of these problems. Assistance is requested.

For several weeks, I have been experiencing this. When was the update released?
It began to be implemented in recent weeks. This might occur. You can attempt a system restore point rollback from December if one exists, or use Windows 10’s native update reversion feature.
