Windows 10: Windows 10 - Games experience extreme lag after computer runs for a while. Restarting fixes...

As said in the title, my issue is regarding extreme lag.After a while of playing any game on my computer typically anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours, though it's literally never consistent, it will start to lag heavily. Poor frame rates and multiple seconds of input lag, to be precise. This issue applies to all games that I play from that point on until the moment I restart, though restarting merely resets that "lag timer," so to speak. In most games, the lag happens seemingly at random and with no clear cause whatsoever; the exception to this is Borderlands 2, where the issue often arises

Windows 11 broke gaming on my computer and I cannot fix it

I updated to Windows 11 two weeks ago and I have been facing issues when playing games ever since. Problems were practically nonexistent before updating but I am suffering from:

• Input lag happens all the time.
  
• Extremely low frames per second. On games where I could see the FPS it did not ever go higher than 20. Infrequent freezes.
  
• Audio cuts out frequently. A horrendous crackling noise plays occasionally.
  

I have tried literally everything suggested on the Internet and the issues still remain. Terrible performance, lag, nothing changes every time I try. I have:

• Uninstalled and reinstalled the games
  
• Lowered graphics to the lowest settings
  
• Cleared unused apps on my computer
  
• Repeatedly shut down and restarted my computer
  
• Updated drivers
  
• Cleared caches
  
• Enabled and disabled Game Mode
  
• Disabled Transparency
  
• Disabled Xbox game bar
  
• Used regedit
  
• Scanned for viruses
  
• Scanned for corrupted files using command prompt
  
• Downloaded Empty Standby List
  

Nothing is working. Does anyone know how I can fix this issue?
