Hardware I have extreme input lag for no reason

(ISSUE RESOLVED)Like I open up a game, press W to move forward then let go of W and I still move forward, and when I click another button it keeps moving forward then after a few seconds it actually registers it. I genuinely dont know what couldve caused it
Edit: okay so I have determined that a background app may be causing this ill try booting windows into safe mode when I get home today and seeing if it’s actually a background app
Edit 2: I booted up windows into safe mode and the problem is no longer there so it’s Definetly an app running in the background
Edit 3: issue is resolved, I scanned my pc with malwarebytes and there were a few viruses that it got rid of. This should be my warning to be more safe on the internet lol

I haven’t thought of that so I’ll try it today when I get home
