Windows 10 Laggy

[og_chumunga]

I have an interesting issue that is fairly consistent every day (maybe ever other day)

 

The issue:

On initial boot up into windows I can see the circular dots loading, on a good boot the rotation of dots would go maybe anywhere from a half of rotation to 1.5 rotation and it is smooth. If this occurs, all is good.

When its bad, the dots would be laggy and choppy and would stutter like FPS drop. It may take about 2 to 3 revolutions before going to the next screen (Login Screen).

 

Once in the initial log in screen everything is laggy in terms of response and graphical smoothness display. Additionally, another indicator I use to confirm the persistence of the lag is that i click on the Power Icon which will will bring a pop up to either Shutdown, Reboot, and Sleep, if its laggy the popup will take a few seconds, if its not laggy it will be fast and responsive.

 

Any ideas?

 

My system:

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97 MX-Gaming 5 Rev 1 | MATX 

          All drivers from gigabyte installed and update to the latest version available, including audio, lan, intel engine management, BIOS Updates

CPU: 4790K (not OC, running with AIO 240mm Water Cool)

RAM: 32GB

GPU: EVGA ACX 2.0 980Ti;

          Drivers updates updated to 417.35; Release Date 12/12/2018

Storage: Samsung Evo 500GB using PCI-E x4 (This is where Windows 10 is installed)

OS: Windows 10 64bit Enterprise version Version  10.0.17763 Build 17763, even before I joined the windows insiders preview I had this lag issue too.

 

I've tried running SFC /SCANNOW with only good results, when the system is laggy I notice that the disk read is high, but I can't find where i wrote down which process, but i recall it was a windows process I also recalled trying to end the task but with no luck running it, also some process i see are listed as high "System Interrupt"

 

I was hoping I could repair rather then cheat and perform a windows reset. Sad to say I work in IT and I admin this has got me stumpped (but truth be told I rarely want to deal with this since it only impacts me and not some server)

Try disable Fast Boot in power options.

If you are referring to

 

Power Options > System Settings

Check Box; Turn on fast startup (recommended) this helps start your PC faster after shutdown. Restart isn't affected.

 

I've read about this awhile back and tried it both enabled and disabled, couldn't find any consistent results to conclude its effectiveness. But I will try with disabled.

 

So as of right now, the PC is laggy, normally I just reboot over and over until it just doesn't lag. Right now my system is laggy and the only process that is taxing is Windows Explorer and system interrupts. In fact when I restart Windows Explorer process, System Interrupt cpu usage is 49% and even me typing in this is slow and laggy, i can type 10 words and it will take a few seconds for it to show.

Use LatencyMon, run it for 15 minutes and post a screenshot here.

I reinstalled the drivers for Audio and LAN and I still get the same
