So I've been meaning to do a clean install for a while now and decided to do it last night after I noticed a few micro stutters during a game of Apex last night and during windows tasks. I thought a perfect excuse to do it because I've been putting it back for a while now. I like to do a clean install every 10 months or so.



Anyway, after the clean install, I started noticing the micro stutters were still there and I shadowplayed it for you.

1tb WD BLACK SN750 NVMe

2x Crucial 250gb raid 0

500gb Samsung 280gb

As you can see in the video it micro stutters after installing new software. Keep in mind last night i wasn't installing any software just playing games and the usual stuff watching youtube. It's kind of like lag if you know what I mean.
 
open up task manager and click on performance tab, keep a sharp eye on the cpu,ram, drives and gpu, even network activity, if one of the graphs suddenly spike for no reason there could be a problem, you didn't mention what psu you are running either, from memory though it could be a failing drive which is causing the stutter or just to many processes running in the background

eg I'm sitting in windows 10 with 7 Firefox tabs open and a few other background programs too and i have 170 processes running total at idle, when i start a game i normally push quite near to 200 but never go over that

Google LatencyMon, there are lots of guides for using it. It can help identify drivers which are interrupting the CPU causing stuttering :)
 
You got stuff plugged into USB3?
Try it in USB2 ports, or unplug it entirely..

I had some random microstutters with that...

That actually reminds me of when something gets stuck in my mouse sensor. Have you tried a different mouse? Though the interrupt latency (if I'm reading this tool right) suggests that something is hanging the CPU rather than a wireless problem.

Like said above though, task manager might help you narrow down the problem.

You have a lot of drives which I guess could be an issue, like if one of them is sleeping? But, I'd imagine that a driver bug would be needed to hang the system. Have you tried different chipset drivers? Are you connected via LAN or Wireless?
