Question Stuttering in FIFA 16 - please help

Hi
I've been playing FIFA 16 for half a year without any problems. I have had a serious problem for 2 weeks. When I turn on the game and play the first match, everything is fine. However, when I play the next match, the game slowly begins to lose its fluidity and becomes unplayable as the match progresses. Interestingly, the fps is stable (I play at locked 60 fps) and the CPU and GPU temperatures are max 50 C. CPU and GPU usage low. I did not install any new programs at that time, basically nothing changed on my computer except the latest Windows 10 update. I tried: updating GPU drivers, cleaning the system from garbage, I scanned the system with Avast and Malwarebytes. Changes in performance mode, Changes in settings in Nvidia control panel, uninstalled Win 10 updates, running the game without programs running in the background such as msi afterburner, avast etc. Unfortunately, nothing helps. Sometimes it happens that I play 3-4 matches in a row and everything is fine. The next day, however, in the second match in a row, stuttering starts to appear. At first there are slight cuts, but as the match progresses the game stutters so much that it is impossible to play. You can see what it looks like in this video FIFA 16 STUTTER I'm asking for help, I have no idea what's causing it. I will add that I also play God of War Ragnarok and everything is fine in this game. Computer: Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 4070, 32gb RAM 3600mhz, game installed on an SSD Goodram IRD Pro 240gb ( 40% occupied) , Windows 10 ( M2 Kioxia Exceira 500gb) . PSU : SilentiumPC Supremo 550w 80 plus gold ( 4 years old, bought new).

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used)?

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

Try using Task Manager and Resource Monitor to observe system performance.

Use both tools but only one tool at a time.

You will need to leave the tool window open and viewable while gaming.

The objective being to identify what changes when the stuttering begins and ends.

It may require a bit of time and effort to get a sense of what is being presented and how to view what all is happening. Take your time, be methodical. No need to rush or jump to any immediate conclusions.
 
I monitored computer resource usage several times during the game. When the stutter appears, nothing changes. No other process except Fifa 16.exe consumes resources. While the game is smooth and when stutter appears, Fifa uses about 30% cpu and about 20% gpu. I also started changing the screen settings. I tried with vsync, gsync compatible. With or without frame capping. No effects...I tried to disable various services in Win10 as advised in various guides, e.g. indexed search, locations, etc. I try uninstall win 10 update but problem still persists 🙁
