NFSHPR: Lag spikes in the menu and when selecting anything

I just downloaded NFSHPR on my new pc and i went to select a map and the game froze for a good 3 seconds before letting me select the race. The racing itself works fine, but the lag spikes in the menu are messing with me

I've tried almost everything to fix it;

Automating processor affinity with Process Lasso

Creating a custom launch script (batch file) to adjust CPU cores

Updating and adjusting GPU settings (V-Sync, threaded optimization, reflections)

Creating a new config.ini file with changes to display and graphics settings

Deleting heavy 4K videos from the game folder

Installing the latest graphics card drivers with a clean install

Updating chipset and management drivers for the motherboard

Changing the Windows power plan to High Performance

Disabling Windows features such as HAGS and hardware acceleration

Ensuring correct cable connections (HDMI/DisplayPort)

Disabling the EA App’s cloud storage and playing in offline mode

Disabling the EA App’s overlay and in-game features

Changing the game’s configuration file to Borderless Windowed, lower reflection quality, locked FPS

Deleting large video files in the game folder to avoid lag in the menu

Forcing Windows to disable Modern Standby via registry changes

Checking controller and mouse settings, including firmware updates and polling rate

Performing a clean driver installation with “Perform a clean install” when updating the GPU

 

Does anyone have any other reasons as to why it keeps lagging?
