Can you try updating to the latest build of Windows 10? Search "Windows Updates" in the desktop search bar to check for pending updates. With a 4 core processor I'd also try uninstalling GeForce Experience and play the game with all overlays disabled to see if you have any positive results. It could be pending Windows updates in the background causing this though, hopefully that fixes it!
Game was OK even on best settings in the end of last year, GeForce experience also was ok so i dont blame processor. I think something happened after last game updates... I play now on window mode and everything is ok, but i hate window mode so i have to fix that anyway. I will update system (i miss that somehow), will se what then.
@edit: windows update didnt help. But on window mode i set ultra settings and everything is ok. very strange sytuation

What's your monitor's refresh rate on?

I have this same issue, but it's only been the last 2 days. I have no overlays, and a refresh rate of 240 @ 1080. It runs a steady 115ish fps. It acts like I am laggy. It slowly moves then jumps. It is really frustrating. I took a few months of because the game crash issues. 3 fresh windows installs, 6 fresh BF5 installs, with nothing but BF5 installed. I really enjoy this game, but it has to work!

Your CPU processor is below the minimum system requirements, so it does not surprise me your game is playing well on Windowed mode. I recommend uninstalling GeForce Experience because that can cause the CPU usage to rise, make sure all programs are closed when you are playing BFV. I'd recommend playing it on lower settings if you can and in windowed mode to boost performance.

Honestly your CPU is slightly below the minimum required CPU so playing on Ultra is not the best idea since BF5 is a very CPU intensive game and a 1060 3 GB isn't going to make up for that. The thing with hardware that is below spec is that it may run just fine for a while but a game update or windows update can make the game so it no longer performs in a playable manner. I recommend lowering your graphics settings from Ultra to Medium or High and then enabling precision mouse pointing as described here for the best results: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/enhance-pointer-precision-windows
