Windows 10: High-end device stuttering/freezing momentarily

My laptop has high-end specs, an Intel Core i9-14900HX, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070, and 32 GB of RAM. Despite this, it occasionally lags. Every 2–3 minutes, it briefly freezes, and sometimes stutter, for about 2–3 seconds before returning to normal. Strangely, this issue doesn't happen while gaming. Even when running demanding games at the highest graphics settings, the laptop performs flawlessly. However, outside of gaming, like desktop or using Google Chrome, the issue consistently appears, especially when the laptop is on battery. This laptop is brand new as I have recently bought it a few we

High end build, stuttering in every game

I "think" the OP is also referring to my FYI post on the previous page... High end build, stuttering in every game - Page 14 - Windows 10 Forums

All I can say is many, including me, have had stuttering issues since the update. I just finished off Deus EX: Mankind Divided and it stuttered something awful no matter what I did. Other games have also stuttered but not so bad as Deus Ex.

 

High end build, stuttering in every game

Hello, this is my build:

• i5-6600k
• ASUS MAXIMUS RANGER VIII
• MSI GTX 1060 6G
• Samsung SSD 850 evo 250gb
• WD Caviar Blue 1TB
• G.Skill Ripjaws V 3200 DDR4 (XMP profile)
• Dual monitor: Zowie XL2411 144hz + BenQ GW2260 60Hz

I get stuttering in the following titles:

• Rocket League: every time a new player join a match the game freeze, also when V-Sync is on I get random lag from 144 to 130 and then the game continue to run smoothly.
• GTA V: random stuttering Online and fps drops, V-Sync on.
• PUBG: random stuttering, V-Sync off.
• Rust: stuttering when loading chunks with fps drops.
• Ark: as Rust.
• Total War Warhammer: random stuttering in the strategic map, V-Sync on.

What I've done till now:

• Tried every graphic settings.
• All kind of Windows 10 optimizations like Performance mode, Xbox game mode off, disabled unnecessary services and tasks, no antivirus (Windows Defender on only).
• Hard drive defragmentation.
• Nvidia control panel optimizations for every game like Thread optimization, tried several v-sync modes, etc.
• All drivers are updated.
• No pending Windows updates.
• Temps are fine, GPU and CPU never go above 65C.
• Shadowplay overlay off.
• Playing with one monitor at once.
• Moved games from HDD to SSD.
• Tried different version of GPU drivers.
• Disabled the page on the HDD and fixed its size on the SSD with the reccommended value.
• Memtest for both RAM stick at once (8 pass each no errors).

What I've not tried yet is to reinstall the OS... benchmarks and performance in game are ok and in line with every other user... do you have any suggestions? Could it be network related? How can I analyze the stuttering?

PS: I'm testing with Latencymon and doing some screenshot of gpu and cpu usage
