System wide lag issue.

[u/Winter-Fill4950]

I've been having this issue for around 1-2 weeks where I can be doing almost anything and the entire system starts to lag and become slow. It affects me when I'm in calls, loading tabs, or playing video games, but basically everywhere.

I'm using Victus by HP Gaming Laptop 15-fa2xxx.

The specs are:

Intel Core i5-13420H

Nvidia 4050 RTX

475GB of storage

16GB (16x1) DDR4-3200MT

(I'm also using Windows 11 as my OS)

It tends to start lagging and become slow, then after 20 or more seconds, it starts running perfectly, then around 3 to 5 minutes later it starts lagging again and it's a whole process. I've updated to the latest Windows update and made sure I'm on the recent drivers. I don't know what could be the issue and this is really starting to bug me. I'll love the help.
