Windows 10: My computer experiences serious bursts of lag every few seconds. How can I fix this?

I recently purchased an asus vivobook with 20 gb ram but whenever I play a game or try to run a program other than the internet it slows down for a few seconds on the order of every 5 seconds. Any tips?

Windows 10: Serious Lag Times

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft community.

This issue may happen due to system file corruption.

I suggest you to follow the below methods and check if it helps.

Method 1: I suggest you to run System file checker. System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly
follow the below given steps:

• Press Windows key + X, select
  Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.
• In Command prompt type sfc/scannow and press enter.

• Restart the computer.

Method 2: If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state, then I suggest you to try the following steps to employ the DISM command lines:

• Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.
• In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:
  • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
  • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Cleanupimage
  • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
• Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.

5 second lags on Windows 10

I purchased a new Dell Inspiron 3459 i5 processor with Windows 10. The computer works fine for about 30-60 minutes, then begins to lag for about 5-10 seconds every 3 to four minutes. For example, when I am typing, the computer will stall and I will not be
able to type for a few seconds, then the computer will come back, often with what I typed while in suspension appearing on the screen. I have done all of the troubleshooting and no errors have been found. Same happens while using the internet with EDGE. The
screen will hang with the circle then come back in a few seconds.

While not a big problem it is particularly annoying. I can reboot, and have another 30-60 minutes on no lagging, but after spending so much on a new computer, this should not be happening. I would welcome any suggestions as to what the problem might be and
how I can fix it.

Thank you very much for any responses.
