Windows 10: unstable windows performance

Hi, about 3 days ago ive got some massive FPS drops in games, cpu usage like 1%, fps instead of 120+ goes like 20

after some fiddling it seems to be related to timer resolution (interrupt timer for power saving)

if i have nothing opened, timer is at 15.6ms, all fine, if i open youtube page, groove (music), or any game, timer resolution gets changed every second, i cant remember any time whereit should be variable at all, youtube used 1ms, games usualy too...

if i lock it to 0.5ms all is fine, fps in games jumps up, but it increases power consumption..so not really a solution here

as far as i remember nothing changed 3days ago, no new ms update as i have manual updating.



so far what ive tried:

reseting bios, switching windows power plans, power mode is set to best performance, reinstalling chipset, gpu, sound card drivers

sfc /scannow comes out clean

:)

Windows 10 performance is unstable

Hello Subikashi,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

We regret for the inconvenience and we understand the frustration when things go the way they supposed to. Let me assist you with further information from here.

As an initial recommendation, I suggest you to check for the latest updates in Windows 10 which helps the PC to make optimal use of Windows 10 capabilities as well as fixing any missing links in performance of the operating system.

Ref: Announcing
Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14251

Windows 10 periodically checks for updates so you don’t have to. When an update is available, it’s automatically downloaded and installed – keeping your PC up to date with the latest features.

To check for updates now, go to Settings > Update & security > Windows Update, and select
Check for updates. If Windows Update says that your PC is up to date, you have all the updates that are currently available.

Now please follow the below methods and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

Method 1

Boot the computer in safe mode with networking, and check if the issue still persist.

Safe Mode With Networking:

Follow the steps to boot to safe mode with networking:

• 
  Press the ‘Windows + R’ key on the keyboard.
  
• 
  In the ‘Run’ windows type ’MSCONFIG’ and click ‘Ok’.
  
• 
  Click the ‘Boot’ tab.
  
• 
  Under ‘Boot Options’, select the ‘Safe Boot’ option.
  
• 
  Choose the type of safe mode by selecting one of the options below the Safe boot check box: Select ‘Network’.
  
• 
  Click OK and then restart your PC.
  

Refer below link to Enable Safe Mode with Networking.

If the issue does not occur in Safe mode, try to place the computer in a Clean Boot state and check if there are any third party application/software to be causing the issue.

A clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts.
