Pc. character suddenly stops moving for a short period of time

Hi.

Im experiencing some kind of bug or i dont know how to address this situation. Im using ethernet cable for the connection.

during in game my character stops moving, i am able to see everything else is in motion except my character for couple seconds.

Im holding W down for the movement but when the issue occurs i need to release W and press it again if nothing repeat again.. for like 5s -10s

this happens mostly in fights so it cause me to loose them without able to responding properly. During these random freezes or i have no idea how to call, i was using Discord or Teamspeak, and i was able to communicate with my team, so i have no idea this issue is related to my internet connectionor not.

There is a topic with a similiar or same issue:

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Apex-Legends-random-Freezing-rubber-band-lag/td-p/7435194

The solution is to use a software called killer control center and turn off stream detect, which im unable to install because i have no compatible component in my pc with this software,

ANd as far as im aware im not the only one with this issue. Please help!
Looking forward to hear from anyone who has the same issue or know a solutions.
Thanks for your time

My spec is:

Ryzen 5 1500x
GTX strix 1080

24gb Ram

Edited:

I did a fresh install of windows 10

(i even reseted my motherboard to factory settings)

fresh install of the game and the launcher and i still experienced the issue.

I haven't face any of these lag issues before March. And now facing the exact same issue from March. My game get freeze so often and game is barely playable. it shows a small red icon near top right to indicate network lag and all my other games are working fine (CS:GO, PUBG... etc).
I don't have killer network module in my setup so disabling "turn off stream detect" it's not an answer. I have seen lot of complaints about network lag & hopefully EA/Respawn will respond somehow.
My specs are:
8th Gen core i7
GTX 1050 (4GB)
16GB Ram

I have had this issue for months. One thing that has worked for me is to go to windows start button, right click, hit search and type in services. Then you will go you Windows Audio Endpoint Builder. Right click and hit Stop. Then right above it go to Windows Audio and right click and press start. You will have to do this every time you open up APEX. This has been working for me BUT I am now experiencing issues with my voice chat. Unfortunately when I fix the issue with my voice chat I still have this freezing issue and when I fix the freezing issue it messes up my voice chat again.
This information is something I gathered online so go ahead and try it.

Same problem here, it seems to occur when I press a combination of three keys. Shift, a movement key (wasd) and an action (c or e). My character just stops moving, and starts back up shortly after - despite me not letting go of the key.
