Windows 10: Stutters in Far Cry 4 on Windows 11

Hello,I have stutters in Far Cry 4. It seems like before loading a script or something the game just stops for 1-2 sometimes even 5 seconds. On Windows 10 I did not experience such a bug. I have tried updating bios, compatibility mode with windows 7, downloading newest Windows updates. Updating bios seems to have fixed some of the stutters but they still persist. My PC is i5-10400f, RTX 3060, 16gb of RAM. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Games stuttering after upgrading to Windows 11

I have since I have upgraded to windows 11 I have been seeing stutters in my games and large FPS drops. Games run fine for first few minutes and start stuttering only to get normal again for a some time. I know the issue is not in the graphics settings or hardware as everything was running smooth in Windows 10. Even GTA IV has started to stutter. Here's what I have tried:

• Looking at task manager while gaming to see if any of my GPU/CPU/RAM are reaching their max when stuttering starts in Red Dead Online. Found no behaviour out of the ordinary, RAM was always at 80% capacity with discord and the game open. I don't know if that's the issue.
  
• Turning off GameDVR settings from System Registry.
  
• Uninstalling drivers and reinstalling newer ones from the custom installation option in Nvidia GeForce Experience.
  
• Turning off Memory Integrity.
  
• Toning down in game video settings.
  
• Installing vulkan renderer for GTA IV.
  
• Turning off Real Time security.
  
• Turning off Game mode.
  
• Turning on high performance mode in control panel and from the manual keys in my Lenovo Legion Laptop.
  
• Cleaning the air vents and putting it on an elevation supported by a few poker chips on each corner for better airflow.
  
• Turning off every third party process from Task Manager that I could before playing games.
  
• Updating Windows 11, eventually updating to 23H2 but the problem still persists.
  

My PC specs (Lenovo Legion 5 Gaming Laptop):

• 16 Gb RAM
  
• 4 Gb Nvidia GTX 1650 Ti Graphics card
  
• 4 core Intel i5 processor ( I don't know what gen)
  

There was no performance issues in my games in Windows 10. I have missed the 10 day mark of reverting back to Windows 10, I don't want the hassle of reinstalling it. I have seen others on Windows 11 having good gaming performance so I think Windows 11 could still be fixable for me. Thank you for reading and attention any reply and suggestion would be appreciated.
