Mysterious performance lag from time to time

Hi all
I have been experiencing this weird performance lag from time to time.

Please see the screencast: https://lambda.sx/H6r.mp4

At the beginning, you will see my attempt to drag the Task Manager to the recording area but laptop is too busy doing something so Task Manager drag did not respond.

You will also see lag when clicking each tab in Task Manager.

CPU usage seems fine.
Memory usage seems fine.

I just can't figure out what the problem is.

What could it be?

Thanks
Michael

 

Cursor lagging on my desktop

Hi Charlie,

To help you with your concern, we'd like to suggest checking if there are unwanted applications running in the background. To check this, follow these steps below:

• Right-click on your Start Menu button on the Taskbar.
• Click Task Manager
• Under Processes, close any applications that are running in the background that are consuming resources on your laptop. Select the program and then click
  End Task.
  
• Next click the Details tab, choose the program that is consuming a lot of memory on your computer and then press
  End Task.
• Check if the cursor is responding slowly.

Let us know if you need further assistance.
