5. Go to task manager, right click osu and click go to details, right-click osu.exe and set priority to RealTime.

9. Disable overlays u might have on examples, Discord game overlay, MSI afterburner overlay, any fps overlays, ect..

If nothing above worked, there has been some issues going around with Antimalware Service Executable making people lag, this is only affecting a very small amount of people as far as I'm aware, if you want to know if you have the problem, open task manager, if you see this happening, then you probably have that issue, if you don't see that happening I do highly suggest not doing this.
