Hi Relentless,
A particular hourly* game lag/freezing lasting 2-3 seconds was introduced with Win 10 Creator's Update. I've got it. My friend has the same. Perhaps some similarity hardware-wise in both our systems (Z87 & 4770K v Z87 & 4790K/GTX 970/Samsung SSDs) but it only started happening with the CU.
I've been trying tweaks for over a month now, and even re-installed Win 10 (latest ISO available on Microsoft site which was CU), which didn't fix it.
* Not at 5 PM, 6PM etc. But every hour that passes since starting up the computer, or some process. It's on the dot after that, so I suspect some process but haven't been able to pin it down.
We notice it in GTA V too.
I could install a previous version and delay CU but I'm kind of interested in finding out what the issue is exactly. I have a suspicion that the whole "Game Mode" thing came about as a knee-jerk reaction to similar issues they noticed with the CU and they simply marketed a half-baked fix as a "new feature", which has the side-effect of improving fps on less powerful CPUs (but with the downside that it may affect TCP/IP processing and other things by restricting the CPU's ability to deal with things other than processing frames).
