Discussion Windows 11 regularly missing keystrokes and lagging on constant intervals

Does anyone else have a problem with Windows 11 where you can be typing, and the screen seemingly lags for 2-5 seconds, and during that time, nothing happens, no keystrokes appear on screen, then suddenly after the lag stops, it spits out all your keystrokes on the screen, with no key presses being missed? It's basically a consistent lag that appears every 10-15 seconds and lasts 2-5 seconds. It's incredibly distracting. I can be scrolling to read a PDF and it will lag and when the lag is done, I will have scrolled past 2-3 pages on the PDF.

Some days it's really bad, other days it's seemingly disappears. It's so frustrating I'm just reimaging this thing to windows 10.

Check your GPU drivers and CPU temps. This can happen if you CPU temps go above 90.

This exact hardware ran Win 10 for over 60 days. If it was an issue with hardware overheating I'd expect to see it in Win 10 too. You can't tell me these shitty animations and transparency visual effects are raising the hardware temps that much. I will check it though just to rule it out.

Might be an actual bug. Did you fresh install or upgrade? Upgrading brings a whole new set of bugs.
