I have an intel i7-10700f and a msi 4060 and 16gb ram and i been playing Fortnite for about 2 years now on pc and i have started to notice stuttering in games and fps stutters where i have like 200 fps and drop down to 120 and it happens throughout the whole game and its starting to be annoying and i have my graphics lowest possible because that's how i usually play and i've tried changing in game settings and everything and still nothing the CPU voltage and nothing and even overclocked my gpu since fortnite is only using 30% of my gpu and im really annoyed how my game isnt smooth. i even tried to edit my power plan to ultimate performance and other options and still nothing. This also happens to other games and my cpu fan is at maximum speed

    Hi, thanks for reaching out. My name is Bernard a Windows fan like you. I'll be happy to help you out today.

    I understand the issue you have, there is nothing to worry I am here to help, have you noticed any changes before the issue starts? or have you made any changes? while waiting for your response, this issue occurs when there are third-party services that might interrupt the CPU usage or there is a CPU overheating, and for us to sort out the issue, kindly follow the steps below:

    Method 1. Do clean boot:

    A “clean boot” starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs, so that you can determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program.

    • In the search box on the taskbar, type msconfig and select System Configuration from the results.
    • On the Services tab of System Configuration, select Hide all Microsoft services, and then select Disable all.
    • On the Startup tab of System Configuration, select Open Task Manager.
    • Under Startup in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and then select Disable.
    • Close Task Manager.
    • On the Startup tab of System Configuration, select OK. When you restart the computer, it's in a clean boot environment.

    Method 2. Run memory diagnostic tool: The memory diagnostic tool is a RAM test to check if there are any RAM issues which can also lead to high CPU usage.

    • Press Windows key + R then type in mdsched.exe hit OK then restart the device.

    Note: If the issue persists, I suggest contacting a local technician to physically check the processor or do a re-pasting of thermal paste to optimize the processor.

    Let me know how it goes and I hope that helps.

    Bernard
