Windows 10: PC Stuttering But Only When Doing Little To Nothing

Hey all,

So i'm having an issue with my PC, and it's been happening for quite some time: micro stuttering. My PC will just freeze for a second causing the mouse cursor to jump position. The strange thing is though, that it only does this when not much is happening on my PC. Playing a YouTube video; no stutter, playing a game; no stutter, playing music in winamp; no stutter, playing a video in VLC; no stutter, having the performance tab in the task manager open; no stutter. And so on. I get it on the desktop, when using a browser (without any form of media running in it) and in some other stuff like when using Photoshop.

Hope someone can help, looking around on the internet I can't seem to find anyone a similar problem.

:)

Hold down the power button until it completely shuts down, then try.

 

Check in your Power options, your power saving plan, advanced, for Minimum CPU usage, it probably defaulted to 5% or so.

 

Well hey, that seemed to be be it!

Thanks! Problem fixed!

 

Good, Intel has very aggressive power saving features with possible Speed step and such so it may misinterpret requirements at low usage levels.
