Windows 10: Game FPS drops when PC is connected to Internet

Hi, I've been having problem of my games (any games) getting fps drops after ~5 minutes (this is almost exactly 5 minutes) in the game while having my PC connected to the internet. As far as I know there is nothing wrong about my PC hardware - no throttling etc (temp is always under 60C for both GPU and CPU, when having fps drop or not).

The fps drop happens in every games I play whenever I'm connected to the internet, no matter I'm actually playing multiplayer mode or just playing in single player with my pc connected to the internet. When I disable my internet connection, there is no fps drop whatsoever. The fps drops can be solved by alt-tabbing out the game and then back in. This problem is very annoying as I need to constantly alt-tab in and out of the game every 5 minutes to avoid fps drops.

I've tried reverting GPU drivers and uninstalling windows update to no avail. I've made sure the power settings in the NVidia control panel to be on Maximum Performance and Windows is using Ryzen Balanced settings.

Is there anything I should check? What info I should provide to help you give the answer? Is there any known solution to this problem?

Here's my pc spec:
Windows 10 pro 1903 build 18362.295 (latest update installed: August 2019 cumulative updates)
Ryzen 5 1600 (non-OC, 3.2GHz)
Biostar B350GTN
2x8Gb Corsair LPX DDR4 2666MHz
Adata XPG SX8200 Pro 512Gb NVME drive
Asus GTX 1060 6Gb using driver ver 431.60

FPS drop in games

I saw also fps drops with some DX9 games at least since the anniversary update (I even did a fresh install but was the same), the only DX9 game that I play that had fps issues was 4Story (some had no changes, for example TERA, Final Fantasy XIII...), I usually
had 20-30fps minimum and it runs at 1fps or even lower.

The only way I found to play it was to change the d3d9.dll with the version of it before the anniversary update. A friend also had fps drops in CS:GO with w10 anniversary, so I think the problem is with that file and it should be fixed... There are posts
that talk about disabling Game DVR in the XBOX app, but since my computer does not meet the requirements I didn't test it.

 

FPS drop on Windows 10

what is the model of your laptop. What graphic drivers do you have installed? Can you list a game or two where you measured the FPS drop?
