Windows 10: How do i fix system wide stuttering

Hi, I'm currently using a custom built pc that i built just under a year ago system specifications at bottom i recently got my motherboard repaired by gigabyte due to a bios problem, it has now been two days since i have rebuilt the system. Yesterday i noticed that my audio seemed to be cutting out whilst i was listening to music, so i curiously had a look around to see what the issue was, at first i thought my wireless headset had broken however it worked absolutely perfectly on two other devices. I then uninstalled my audio drivers and my Peace equaliser that i use to change my sound to how i desire. However in doing this it had no effect. I then uninstalled Icue which is a corsair interface that controls my headset and other several corsair products, i did this hopping that the headset driver would be removed. After the uninstall i restarted my pc and tried to listen to music to see if these stutters where still there, which they were. I then noticed whilst gaming that it was not just the audio that was stuttering but the whole system as i experienced loads of completely random micro stutters my estimate about 10 - 2000 milliseconds at its worst these would happen at entirely random intervals with no clear cause even at idle, sometimes it would go for about 15 minuets without one occurring however the problem is still present eventually.



Since the realization that it was a system wide stutter i have been trying to troubleshoot the problem, i have tried installing new chipset drivers, new and older audio drivers however i am now almost certain that it is not an audio problem. My temperatures are absolutely fine cpu sitting around 30 - 35 degrees idle and 54 during gaming the GPU is also nice and cool not even turning on its fans. i am now completely out of ideas so i have turned to the Microsoft community to hope someone can help me as i believe it is software based not hardware based which i do not have a lot of knowledge in. :


Thanks

HL2 stuttering fix

Valve has released a Patch for Half-Life 2 which is supposed to fix the sound problems people were having. In most cases this is related to video memory texture trashing.

 

missing system wide icons

Hi Janet,

We appreciate all the steps you've tried to resolve the issue. Since it still persists, we suggest that you use the
Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool which will check and correct system file corruptions that may be causing the issue. Refer to this
link
for the steps.

Once you are on the support page, skip Step 1. Proceed directly on Step 2 until Step 4. If you are still experiencing the same issue after using the DISM tool, we recommend that you proceed with
System Update Readiness tool. The steps are also listed on the same support article.

Let us know how it went for you.

 

System-wide stuttering when connected to WiFi network.

Hi Ameer, I'm Graeme, an independent adviser here to help.

It sounds like you've done everything needed to troubleshoot the system stuttering. Reinstalling drivers and especially clean installing Windows *should* fix a problem like this, but if the issue is still present then it suggests a problem with the WiFi hardware
itself.

Is your WiFi adapter external? If so, I'd try plugging it into another PC to see if the same problem occurs.

But if it's internal, you might need to follow up with the manufacturer to see if they can diagnose a fault with the hardware.

Please let me know if you have any further questions! Thanks!
