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

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.
