5. Game Mode is a feature in Windows 10 that focuses system resources on games when enabled. It was supposed to make gaming a much better experience, but it seems the opposite is true. And if you have background recording enabled on your system, it may cause micro stutters and even your FPS suffers. So to get rid of it, you need to disable the background recording feature and turn off Game Mode. To do so, take these steps:

1) On your keyboard, press the Windows logo key and I to open Settings.

2) Click Gaming.

3) From the left sidebar, select Game bar and toggle off Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game bar.

4) From the left sidebar, select Captures. In the Background recording section, toggle off Record in the background while I’m playing a game.

5) From the left sidebar, toggle off Game Mode and set Use Game Mode.

After applying these changes, play your game to check if the issue persists.
