I recently started playing World of Warcraft again after a long break.

From legit the first 5 minutes of playing the game I noticed the same issues I had when I previously played the game, which was my mouse would randomly jump around ingame and center.

Now I did some scripts within the game to get it fixed and I partically did that.

Now that I could proceed with my gaming experience I wanted to put up a secondary monitor so I could watch Peaky Blinders (tv show) whilst leveling my toon.

I then started noticing my game skipping a bit, but it was mainly only my mouse jumping a frame or two. I didn't pay much attention to it as I figured it would just be the scripts error which was handed to me by Blizzard developers. (The script was just mouse raw input thingy)

Now no matter what I did I couldnt get that ministutter out of the game, so I ignored it and I would be able to ignore it still, if it werent for the fact that I am now meeting the same stutter whilst not being ingame, but now it is not affecting only my mouse, it is affecting my entire PC it seems. I cannot tell u exactly when the ministutter hits, its very random and sometimes its not there for a couple minutes untill it returns and when it returns its annoying AF.

I am at a total loss for solutions so I came to you PC experts out here on the interwebs in hopes for answers.

Grid:
GTX 1080
I7700
16GB 2700Mhz ram
Asus Z170 gaming motherboard
Watercooling for CPU
Samsung SSD 120+GB available

I have not noticed any instability whilst observing task manager memory surveillance and the error is very recent.

Any help would be met with open arms!

There was an MS update put out 3-4 weeks ago that botched a lot of folks' performance (hitching, stuttering, mouse lag, etc.), with an attempted recommended fix to simply try removing that update...

However, Windows build 1809 is now out as of 3-4 days ago, so, I'd try that first, and , if no help, perhaps a full quick format/reinstall to eliminate any chance of botched drivers, game updates, etc....

Also, fire up HWmonitor before gaming, check afterward to make sure no thermal throttling is/was occurring, as would be plainly evidenced by any 100C peak package/core temps....(AIO pumps have been known to fail as regularly as politicians!)
