  1. Why is my Windows 11 PC stuttering?


    There are pretty consistent stutters, that I've linked to my SSD. The stuttering effects basically everything, which includes video, audio, games, and even just being in windows, the stuttering gets worse as the SSD gets used more. I've cleared out some files from my SSD to my hard drive, so that my SSD isn't full, having 100gb left of storage in the SSD. I've upgraded my Nvidia drivers, and tried a different GPU, but that hasn't worked. My current specs are: IntelR CoreTM i7-4790 CPU, Nvidia GTX 560 Ti GPU, 16GB RAM, 450GB SSD C Drive, 930 GB Hard drive D Drive.

  3. Windows 11 lags / stutters on Desktop (new PC)

    Hello guys

    I recently bought a new PC after my old one was overdue.

    The new PC is an HP Omen 45L GT22-0629nz

    Specs:

    • Windows 11 Home (22H2, 64 Bit)
    • AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800X
    • 32 GB RAM
    • 1 TB SSD
    • NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3070 Ti (8 GB)
    Since I set up the PC whenever I'm on the desktop, windows and all windows applications tend to lag / stutter / work slow.

    When try to open up the windows menu (Windows Key), the Windows explorer or applications like "settings" the pc takes a few seconds to open it, then the application stutters or is very laggy. Dragging program windows across the screen stutters also.

    In contrary when I open up a game (for example CS:GO) and minimze the game, Windows runs smoothly (everything opens instantly, no stutters, etc.).

    The task manager and the graphs tell me that 16% CPU and about 20%-22% RAM is used while the PC is not operating anything.

    So the lag / stuttering ONLY occurs on windows itself, not other programs (games, browser, etc.) and only when nothing else is open.

    What I tried to fix it:

    • All Windows Updates
    • Driver Updates
    • Optional Windows and Driver Updates
    • BIOS Update
    • GPU Driver Update
    • "Reset-PC" in Windows Options with "Deleting all Data" and "Formatting all discs"
    I couldn't figure out what causes the lag so far, maybe I have an experimental version of Windows?

    Is it a windows or hardware problem?

    PC is out of the box so I didn't change hard- or software so far except dowloading firefox and steam.

    If there's not an easy solution I have overseen so far I am considering contacting HP support.

    Thanks for Help
