Windows 10: My ping spikes during gaming

I have faced this issue with the game VALORANT where my game has packet loss and although the ping displayed isn't too high, it spikes often and it's affecting my performance in game. I know this is not an internet issue as I have also played on my second laptop and there is no ping issues on it using the same wifi. It might be something wrong with the wifi driver. I have tried updating it but nothing was fixed.Specsrocessor IntelR CoreTM i5-9300H CPU @ 2.40GHz 2.40 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB 15.9 GB usable System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor GPU NVidia Geforce 16

Windows 11, ping spikes

Hi Dan. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, specializing in Installation, Performance, Troubleshooting and Activation, here to help you.

You could always shrink C in Disk Mgmt and Clean Install WIndows 10 in a Dual Boot to try it on that laptop: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...

This way you can decide if you want to keep it on the PC, go back and forth, use both, or use one and keep the other in reserve. If you decide you want to keep it I'll show you how to still get a free WIndows 10 license, just skip the key during intsall.

Now, here are fixes for ping spikes during gaming:
