Windows 10: Annoying Windows 10 Lag Spikes

Hello.
I have recently encountered weird problems with Windows 10, such as not being able to adjust the brightness (upon booting up, the brightness is either 0% or 100%), and sudden lag spikes that affect FPS by dropping it to 0 for 1-2 seconds, every 3 seconds. I have recently updated AMD Radeon drivers, and Windows 10 has also updated itself (which has always messed up everything) Also, now when the screen goes black (sleep mode), it always requires me to log in back to my Windows account, and it didn't do that before Windows updated itself.
The lag that I'm experiencing, is NOT connection-based lag, so my internet connection and everything works perfectly. It just the FPS that drops suddenly. It just freezes everything for a moment. It also doesn't require me playing a game or anything; just being on the desktop, having nothing open, will still make the lag spikes occur. My processor runs on the desktop around 8-24%, and when the lag spikes occur, it doesn't change at all. So nothing's draining the processor, I guess. Also the memory and all the others stay on the same level.
I really don't care about my other W10 problems; I just want to play without lag spikes.
I am using a HP Laptop that's not that efficient, but I have always been able to play games like Minecraft with decent settings on 60FPS.
And also, I have P2P disabled; that shouldn't be a problem.

Does anyone have any tips to fix this? Help is greatly appreciated.

Internet Issues

So, ever since i updated my computer from windows 8.1 it's been doing something weird and really annoying since i game on my pc. My pc for some reason now gets random lag spikes, and after using "ping google.com -t" in cmd it shows that about every 10-20
there is a random spike and it goes from "time=15ms" (which is average) to "time=1000+ms" (not literally what is says, but it gives me a random amount every time the spike happens.) If anyone can help, you'd be helping me out so much.

 

Windows 10 browser lag

I find that when I am using ANY browser on windows 10 that it tends t lag spike every 3 second which is becoming very very annoying. I find that there is no reason for my system to be lagging at any time with:

AMD FX 8350

16GB ram

2.5 TB HDD

Nvidia GTX 570

I've tried using edge browser, and google chrome, both start lagging after about 1-3 minutes. I've tried reinstalling google chrome and uninstalling flash player. Still I get the same effect on both browsers. Does anyone else have this problem> If o is
there a way to fix this?

 

Hi, what happens if you roll back the graphics driver?

'Idle' cpu use at 8-24% seems high.. certainly my experience of Win 10 is there may be noticeable periods of higher CPU use e.g. after logging in, and Bitdefender during that time and occasionally at other times is more noticeable in using CPU time than I've seen it in other Windows, but once things have settled (no routine maintenance, updates etc), you might reasonably expect under 8%.

 

I think the processor is running at 8-24% is because the processor aint that good. The reason also could be because of the 3000 processes that Windows 10 has on constantly, which you can't turn off.
And also, I'm not sure how I'd roll back the driver. I updated to the newest AMD Radeon that there is, for Windows 10.

 

Assuming you had an older version installed and then updated the driver (which is how I read your post, but I suppose you could mean you immediately installed the latest version):

Roll back driver:
Windows key + X, click Control Panel, click Device Manager, Display Adapters, rt click on your graphics device, Properties, Driver
If you had an older version installed and have updated it, there should be a roll back option.

Note that Win 10 will quite quickly try to update it, so the easiest way to try that would be to disconnect your internet before doing this.

If you can't roll it back, you could manually download and install an earlier version that worked.
