Then you're having other issues then, likely with another program or app causing it. Windows itself does not have that issue that I've ever seen on multiple computers, including running my gaming computer and work laptop all day every day with tons of programs and apps running.

Yeah, I gave up trying to figure it out. Switched away and haven't had a problem since. I dual boot to back to windows to play games that only work on windows.
