Beeping and stuttering performance on Windows 11

Hello!

I am using Windows 11 and am running into a consistent issue with my computer beeping and lagging. It happens sporadically after I have been using my computer for a while. Basically what happens is my computer starts beeping a lot, the frame rate drops significantly and the cursor not only lags with the framerate, but strongly exaggerates the movements I am making with my actual mouse. I recently upgraded to Windows 11 and that is when the beeping started accompanying the issue, but something similar did happen on Windows 10 for me as well. I can temporarily fix it by restarting my computer, but then after using it for several hours the issue recurs. Please offer any help you can.

AMD Ryzen 5 5600x 3.7GHz 32MB L3 AM4

Gigabyte Nvidia 3080

    GUYS I FIGURED IT OUT!!!

    I recently got a new computer with windows 11, it's very high end and I have experiencing this lag and beeping sound every so often, and I couldn't figure it out... how can a modern machine experience this kinda lag that happens so often?!

    then i realised it must be to do with background changes as I set it to every 1 min. I notice my task bar would blink very fast after a background change, my mouse and everything else would lag... after reading this thread i verified that it was also the same problem...

    ok yah so it is SORT OF to do with background changes. I realised we must all have this other setting on... under colors, ACCENT COLORS, is probably set to automatic. Every time windows changes backgrounds, all the accent colors change on all the windows and task bar as well! Even though a modern machine should be able to handle this.... I guess not LOL.

    I disabled auto accent, and picked a manual one and it all stopped!

    I disabled transparency effects just for good measure on top.

    I'd easily give up those two gimmicks to have my beloved backgrounds rotate every minute.

    try it out!

    Well this is awkward. After a few weeks of keeping a single background image instead of a slideshow seems to fix this.

    The awkward bit is that such a function should in no case bring a machine down to its knees. I'm holding my breath for a full feature film level documentary on the story behind this matter...

    It's a wonderful and mysterious world...

    Tested this out by setting the rotation to 1 minute intervals and it's 100% the cause. As @jezmilar says, it's pretty crazy that fading a background image can stop a modern machine dead in it's tracks, with a compositing window manager it should be a practically free operation.
