Check if another background process is monopolizing your system for brief moments. This could be caused by other games, web browsers, or server apps (including file sharing/torrents). Close all other background programs and tray icons and see if the problem persists.

I was playing without any other programs enabled.

Could you post your specs, OS, architecture and your performance.log inside of osu!
It'll help a lot
Thanks!

OS means osu settings yes? xD

Unfortunately, 2gb to cut it for osu! To run smoothly.
However there are workarounds
  1. Set above normal priority to osu! in task manager
    1. Open task manager (Ctrl + Shift + ESC)
    2. Find osu!.exe in Processes
    3. Right click > Priority > Above Normal
  2. Disable wuaserv service
    1. Open Run (Windows Logo + R)
    2. Type services.msc and press enter
    3. Find "wuaserv" service and open its properties
    4. Set type to Disabled
      *Note: Windows Update won't work as expected when this is disabled
  3. Close programs you aren't using such as Skype, OBS, Discord, Raptr, Steam etc.

There is no "wuaserv" in the services idk why.
Kao
Name is "Windows Update"
Set the start type to Disabled and stop it (right click > stop service)
If the RAM usage in task manager drops, then it was effective.

Turned off, I'll go play for a while and we will see what's going on.

Take a close look at your task manager and see if CPU usage and physical memory isn't above 80%

Disable any Anti-virus that may be running.

Also, If you have multiple wallpapers it causes frame drops when the wallpapers rotate. You can remove the impact hit by disabling windows aero. But you can only do that in 7. 8 or higher doesn't support the removal of the aero theme.

Or take a step further and disable everything
To adjust all visual effects for best performance:

  1. Open Performance Information and Tools by clicking the Start button, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type Performance Information and Tools, and then, in the list of results, click Performance Information and Tools.
  2. Click Adjust visual effects Administrator permission required. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  3. Click the Visual Effects tab, click Adjust for best performance, and then click OK. (For a less drastic option, select Let Windows choose what’s best for my computer.)

I've disabled everything what I could, it lagged again 2 times...

Could you take a screenshot of running programs in task manager?
(Check "Show all processes" and sort by private bytes (Edit > Columns))

Try using Compatibility Mode.

It's turned on. I think it's by avast but it can't be turned off by processes. I made it don't work when I'm playing but maybe I'll just try to uninstall it and then try.

Have you tried rebooting?
Might fix it

This solves quite a bit of problems so it doesn't hurt to try.
-Haze-
Had this problem before, i didn't have any other software open, dunno why it still was doing it, it was there for a while, now it doesn't freeze anymore
Maybe it's due to system lag or your internet connection isn't that good, when i'm offline (have no internet) the game never lags but when i'm online (have internet) the game lags
Dunno, i think that doing the same thing (just letting it slip by) for some time might lead into it disappearing, i'm sure it'll do it like it did with me
