@MadPeachyTV Please disable Game Mode too, which is also under Settings > Gaming. If that doesn't help, try playing while your computer isn't connected to the internet. This is just to see whether your issue is the same as that one or something different; I'm not saying you should have to play offline.
It would also be useful to try playing in a clean boot, again. I know it's been mentioned before, but since this issue is back, it's always possible that there's an additional factor that wasn't present before. At the very least, these are good data points.

When in the clean boot, be sure to check the Task Manager for any other tasks that might still be running. I've seen everything from RivaTuner Statistics Server and MSI Afterburner to an RGB control app still running in a clean boot, even though the whole point is that apps like those should be disabled.
@puzzlezaddict i will try that and get back to you as soon as i can!
it may be a few days, i have to work quite a bit in the next week.
thanks again!
