[SOLVED] Why am I getting lag for first 2 minutes of each game ?

[kolyania]

Hey guys,
For the first around two minutes of every league of legends game I play I am experiencing I guess I'd call it random fps stutters or some sort of lag. For the first minute it is really bad and progressively gets better and goes away at around the 2 minute mark. My ping and fps both stay stable and dont drop/spike at all during this. Considering this is only happening in league I think it is a league issue and probably not a hardware issue but thought I'd ask anyways to be sure. I attatched a video of it. My fps also doesnt seem as good as it should. It'll go to 300+ but randomly I'll see it at 140 which I feel is low for this build considering league is very easy to run.
My build is
Ryzen 3700x
2070 Super
32gb ddr4 3200mhz
Asus Prime B550 mobo
850w PSU

I've no idea if this will be of any help to you at all, but here's hoping. I have a similar problem with quite a few games and I believe the original culprit was the 2020 update for Windows 10 (2004).
After the update, I had tried to do a clean install of the latest Nvidia driver and found that I had no Nvidia Control Panel. The games that I played, like yours suffered quite a bit of lag for the first few minutes and poor framerates, considering the GPU I have.
After a quick Google research, I discovered that the Nvidia Control Panel could now only be installed through the Windows Store. Unfortunately, the 2020 update of Windows 10 had blocked the use of 99% of the Windows apps on my system, including the Windows Store app..!! None of the suggestions I found online were able to open the app and probably only a complete reinstall of Windows 10 1904 will solve this problem (The 1909 update made quite a few games crash frequently, especially Ubisoft ones for me).
I took a copy of the installed Nvidia Control Panel folder from an ASUS Skylake laptop (my current Desktop is also a Skylake system that I've been building since 2016) and stored it on the C: Drive where it should have been, but I can only open it from there and I'm not entirely sure that anything I do there has any effect (I set V-sync on there for Wildlands so that I could have access to the FPS Limit option ingame, but it doesn't work because the screen tearing there only goes away when I turn on V-sync in the game options menu).

Current system:
Windows 10 2004 - Samsung 970 EVO PLUS 1TB
i7 6700K
2070 Super STRIX
32GB DDR4 2x16GB Dominator Platinum @3200MHz
ASUS Z170 PRO Gaming
XFX XXX 750W PSU

As you can see, despite having an inferior CPU/MOBO combo to yours, our GPU and RAM are probably the same, so our games should theoretically run similarily.
I'm currently in the process of deciding which files I need to keep from the C: Drive so that I can reinstall Windows 10.
Sorry that was so long and I hope that it's been of some use to you.

I might actually try a clean install of windows and everything else since I am currently in the process of upgrading to a 1tb ssd from my 500gb sdd. My nvidia control panel for me opens as long as I have the newest driver update so that definitely works. Hopefully its windows!
