Windows 10: My PC has suddenly started lagging in frequent spikes

I'm so lost! I got a new PC not even two months ago as well as upgraded internet. My games and other apps have been running perfectly with this combination, no lag, good graphics, and multiple applications can run at the same time discord, video games, Spotify, etc.. Starting yesterday Feb. 3 I noticed my Valorant game was lagging, telling me I had high ping and an unstable internet connection.

Random lag spikes

Hi,

We would like to know more about your lag issue:

• What browser are you using when you experience a lag?
• Does the lag occur in a particular game?

In the meantime, we suggest you run the System Maintenance troubleshooter. Here are the steps:

• Press Windows Key + X.
• Click on Control Panel.
• Select Troubleshooting.
• On the left pane, click on View All.
• Click on System Maintenance to run the troubleshooter.

Looking forward to your response.

 

CPU Spikes and PC Lag

So my PC is running normally without any lag spikes in Videos, Games, and everything UNTIL I open up World of Warcraft, then the lag spikes return.

Would anyone have a clue about what causes this ?
