Windows 10: Game installs lagging Windows 10

Greetings all!

I’ve attempted to install and run both Killing Floor 2 and Apex Legends on my system. It’s a brand new prebuilt from NZXT and it runs flawlessly... until... I installed these two games. Been running AC Valhalla so well and a few other games. I’ve installed them both through Steam and Origin. After install and running it up, on the next system boot everything gets wild. Programs barely start or wont at alllike game launchers, sometimes an SSD will vanish from file explorer or FE barely loads, and the system runs like it’s stuck in the mud. After I restore it, all is well! I was thinking maybe Direct X or C++ is an issue? Just looking for some insight before I throw a new Windows install on. I’m going to do one last check of all drivers as well.
Specs:
Ryzen 7 3700X
16 GB Trident Z Skill RAM
MSI VENTUS OC 3080
X570 Aorus Master Mobo

All drives are WD. 256 M.2 for drive, 500GB M.2/2.5” 500GB for games.

Card games lagging!

Hi Helena,

If it's an online game, the lag issue may have been caused by your Internet connection. It can also occur due to the game server issue. We'll need to gather a bit more information to better identify what's causing this. Kindly answer the following:

• Have you made any changes prior to this issue?
• What card game are you having issues with?
• Is the issue the same with other games?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far to resolve the issue?

Meanwhile, if the card game you're playing is downloaded from Windows Store, we suggest running the
Windows apps troubleshooter. The apps troubleshooter can help resolve issues with games and applications downloaded from Windows Store.

Regards.
