1 second image freeze exactly every minute
Hi everyone :)
I have a problem with Windows 10 on my laptop. At the start of every new minute (e.g. 21:40:00) the image freezes for a second or two (the audio still runs fine). It doesn't matter how busy my laptop currently is, whether I'm playing a game, watching a video or just moving a folder - the lag is always about the same time span. So my guess is that it's some automatically executed task, especially since it's always at a such specific time.
I've had a look at the processes in the task manager, but couldn't find anything notable there. I also had a look at the
"Performance" section in the task manager but couldn't find any change either. And after I couldn't find anything helpful with google as well I'm at a loss right now.
Any ideas? Can anyone push me in the right direction, what to look for next or how to find the program/service/whatever that's responsible? Or has someone heard of this problem before?
a few additional remarks:
- My GPU driver is up-to-date
- Everything was fine with Windows 7 (so probably not a hardware problem)
- I had this problem pretty much after switching to Windows 10, so it's probably not a 3rd party program's fault
- I already tried turning off my Antivirus (Avast)
- For some reason, the mouse cursor is unaffected by the freeze. So if I move my cursor around at the beginning of a minute, everything on the screen freezes for a second, except for the cursor
Thanks for any help in advance :)
