If it happens also in Safe Mode and with a version of Windows that did work correctly earlier, it could be the speed of the Internet connection (or interference on the WiFi if you use that). Or some hardware issue in your PC that's still unclear.
- Can you compare the Internet speed with what it was to see if it's lower now?
- Does another PC/laptop (if you don't have one your, ask a friend to try) on your Internet connection work as it should?
My PC recently developed an audio and video stutter that it hadn't had before and I'm wondering if any of you could help me solve the issue.
I first started noticing it while playing FFXIV, but it carries over to everything else as well. Youtube videos have microstutters while playing and small sounds of static every time it happens. While moving my mouse I notice the same thing.
It happens in safe mode and persisted after resetting windows 10.

Ran this as well and found steady latency spikes
