FPS Lagg spikes on high-end PC suddenly, only on 1 user account.

[Scibility]

As the title says, I have not changed anything to my computer recently, these particular lagg spike freezes only occur on my main WINDOWS 10 Admin account.

When i got onto my secondary windows Admin account there is no laggs as far as i noticed.

Some standard windows programs even open very slowly sometimes.

my temperatures are perfectly cool: http://puu.sh/wTGfV/13277c6740.png
(this picture includes my RIG)

My RAM: Crucial ballisitix sport vlp 1600mhz 16gb
PSU: 750W cooler master

I have this idea it could be my HDD which is now 3 years old and has about 500Gig of data on it out of 1TB

Should i defrag it by any chance?

Please help me out, Cheers!

What are you playing/doing when the freezes occur? What platform?

What are you playing/doing when the freezes occur? What platform?

it first occured with Steam's Euro truck simulator 2, which is a game running on DX9 from 2009 or so so it shouldn't be asking much. i got to fix that by enabling tripple buffering through nvidia configuration panel in 3D setting.

Then last night sims 4 started to stutter and reeze aswell, going sudden from 60 to 2 fps and hang a little. Especially when i speed time in sims it happens more.

So it only occurs on your main account, no problem on other accounts? So you might want to go to Steam\userdate\<mainAccountUserId> and delete the contents of the folder.

To find your exact folder you needd to go to http://steamidfinder.com and type in your profile url. The Steam ID3 is your folder id as well.

It is not just steam, sims is played through origin. I will boot a game through Uplay see if its the same issue there too.

But you said it depends on main account?

I said the FPS lagg drops on my main user account for windows 10 yes, not on my secondary windows account.
I dont think its something to do with either Steam/Origin/Uplay. its more redirecting to my HDD or "too much processes in the background" what you could say on a older hardware PC but that shouldn't be the case for me i guess.

Then the problem will be that your main user account has some process running in the background which reduces your performance. Run the admin account, a game, and screenshot all the process running (ctrl+alt+del), do the same with the other account.

You have to catch it when it lags, also run same games on both ^^

Anyone else with some advice which might help?

Can you expand the ServiceHost (which has that much usage), it is the one which screws your performance, but let us see which part exactly.

I will give me about 20 minutes

OK, and I bet you won't have that service, the one which is draining you, running on your secondary account.

i dont understand how it goes up when i speed up time in the sims, it says updater processes? http://puu.sh/wUxgh/dad09b9871.png

 

[Scibility]

So its the exact same process running on the other user account so that shouldn't be it but it defenitly adds up i guess.

Can you try turning off windows updates?

 

[Scibility]

Windows 10 doesnt allow that unless you do a massive registery edit
