Windows 10: PC and mouse lagging and stuttering during some network traffic

Hi guys,


I recently had an issue that my internet was down Ethernet connection. I thought the problem was caused by my ISP but it turned out I had to use the network reset option in the settings menu.


My internet was back on and everything seemed to be working again. Until I realized every time I used an application that connects to something like, discord, twitch, youtube etc or open up folders my mouse becomes extremely laggy and is basically unusable for about 10 seconds and my computer lags for that same amount of time. The strange thing is I can still download with high speed.


After performing the network reset I installed the drivers from Intel's website but that didn't fix the problem. There is also no memory or cpu spike in task manager whenever this occurs.


Also, I cant seem to update windows for some time now. Even the Windows update troubleshooter program cant fix it.


Im at a loss. Any help is greatly appreciated. Here are some screenshots of my system:

PC lagging and stuttering during network traffic (Win 10)

After a big windows 10 update, the OS started to stutter on ONLY internet (browser) traffic through web browsers. I also regularly access a personal nas which does not cause stuttering. (unless in combination with web (browser) traffic.

Interesting notes:

All of these complaints like this keep mentioning 'network' traffic but always revolves around web browsing. There is a distinction.

If i uninstall the Ethernet (an intel adapter) reboot and it re installs, it is fine but over the course of hours the stuttering will gradually build back up until I am back to the OS nearly unusable. (effect visible using latencymon)

Other interesting note: MS edge causes the MOST stuttering.

Does not matter what network adapter I switch to, it will eventually build back up and stutter. EVERYTHING stutters, mouse audio and video.

This only started after a large update from microsoft. Fresh virgin installs have same issue now.

Only my windows 10 installs suffer from this after that update. (dont remember which it was)

 

PC lagging and stuttering during network traffic (Win 10)


I know is not my topic and i apologize, but sincer i have the same problem, i will post a picture with the LatencyMon. I made the test while watching an youtube video and making a bandwith test on speedtest.





Checked the wireless driver, is still the one i reinstalled and worked fine. The card is an Intel Dual Band Wireless AC-7260 and the driver is still 18.33.0.2, which is the last one. Can't tell if on another system worked, as i just bought the laptop, and i installed windows 10, but for the first month worked like a charm. Yesterday i also installed some things that said were critical on lenovo driver page: Intel Management Engine Component, Intel Collaborative Processor Performance Control, Lenovo quick optimizer, and Lenovo Battery Gauge, but the problem is going on for at least 3-4 weeks.

Update: The PC is lagging even if i play video from local ssd, not only from youtube, whenever i make a high network traffic. The pc is killed at a simple bandwith test, at speeds of about 140 mbs

Hi, you will learn more from the report (apologies if you already know this) if
a. You read this page
Resplendence Software - LatencyMon: real-time audio suitability checker

"Report view

The report view displays a conclusion of the suitability of your system for playing real-time audio at the top. If the execution times of all DPC and ISR routines stay below 2000 µs (microseconds), your system is considered suitable for handling real-time audio without dropouts. If some routines have execution times between 2000 µs and 4000 µs, your system is considered doubtful. If ISR or DPC routines are detected to execute for longer than 4000 µs, a system is considered unsuitable for handling real-time audio. Note that these numbers are just chosen arbitrarily. For optimal midi to audio latencies, buffer sizes of a sound card and driver should be set to very low values then only very low execution times of DPCs and ISRs become acceptable. "

b. also look at the Stats and Drivers tabs

By comparison here's mine (you can see my specs- a modest modern CPU...)
