Over the past two weeks, my computer has been experiencing frequent 0.25-second freezes, causing disruptions such as Spotify skipping, mouse freezing, and other processes coming to a halt before resuming normally. This issue may have been triggered by a series of driver updates I installed through third-party software, a practice I now know to be risky.

I tried updating the RTX driver to the latest version after the problem started, but it did not resolve the issue. I have also ensured that all available Windows updates are installed, including the most recent one: the 2023-11 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5032288). My RTX GPU driver is on version R545 U2 (studio drivers).

I would greatly appreciate any assistance or advice. Should I try unplugging and reconnecting my USB inputs as a troubleshooting step?

Thank you,

Will
