Windows 10: Keyboard input problem only when using semi-battery intensive apps

See, I don't know how much of this problem has to do with either my games or Windows 10, but I do suspect it has to do something with power, because the general fixes that fix something like this caused by the game didn't work, which is why I'm posting here.

When I open a game, there's a problem with keyboard input. When you hold down/spam a key or a series of keys (i.e. strafing with adadadadada, or just holding down backspace), it would pause and hold the key, and then resume typing the missing letters you typed in the maybe 0.2-0.3 seconds that it is paused. e.g. adadadad(pause for 0.2 seconds, 'd' is still being held down by the bug, although it doesn't show it is after the text catches up)adadadad(again)adadadada(again), again it doesn't have to be those keys, it can be backspace, or just one single key being pressed.

This only happens when (and sometimes still after I close) I open a semi-heavy game. Sometimes after I restart the pc (once to multiple times), the bug would just still be there even before the game applications have started to run. Sometimes after I restart the pc, the keys lag as well.

Of course, this could just be a problem with the Lenovo software's or just the apps, but just asking in case it is Windows related.

System SKU LENOVO_MT_81CA_BU_idea_FM_ideapad FLEX 5-1570

Windows 10What I've tried:
-uninstalling and reinstalling the games
-resetting the whole pc

What the problem isn't:
-not a problem with the physical keyboard, I've tried 2 different ones
-nothing with the USB ports, I've used other USB ports on my pc and it's still there

Any insight?
