Restart your computer if you have not already.

Make sure you have nothing else running in the background. Sometimes antivirus can also cause lag if it is scanning files in the background.

Did you view the thread I linked and attempt what was inside? You only mentioned restarting your computer and closing background programs.

Inside it links to this: https://osu.ppy.sh/community/forums/topics/485922?start=5379359
That could potentially solve your issue as the conditions are very similar.

If that does not work, please check your antivirus to make sure it is not scanning anything. Check to see if your computer is still trying to download or install Windows or driver updates in the background. Slideshow desktop backgrounds can sometimes cause lag spikes when they are changing. Also check your power settings if you are on a laptop. Definitely plug it in if it isn't already.

If you are still having issues, try performing a clean install of your graphics drivers, instead of only checking to see if they are up to date. Uninstall your graphics drivers completely with a program like Display Driver Uninstaller and reinstall them directly from the manufacturer's website.

The possible solution did not help at all i have no other idea on why this lagging is happening i know its not my specs/hardware because i ran the game completely fine before windows update all my drivers are up to date and my pc is set for high performance :!: fyi this is the only game that im having any sort of lag issue so i don't think its my display drvers its constant frame drops and high input lantency
