Acer Nitro 5 Trackpad and windows lag

Hello. I bought this laptop 3 days ago and everyday I experience a new problem and more disappointment. The trackpad was all fine at the beginning but yesterday is started to lag every now and then( especially when opening folders,google chrome or other apps. Also the opening itself is taking longer than usual( my 3 years old crappy toshiba laptop is doing better in these terms). Not to forget also that it was facing terrible thermal issues before I repasted it. This is just horrible and unbelievable for a 3 days old laptop that's titled as gaming too so any help regarding the mouse and lagging would be highly appreciated.

If the issue appeared right after entering these commands, then it is most likely caused by them.

You can try setting the reverse command, so you input the following:

bdcedit /set disabledynamictick no

bdcedit /set useplatformlock false

I am not sure what is the defult setting for the 3rd one that is set to enhnaced, but you can try the following:

bdcedit /set tscsyncpolicy defult

Hopefully it works and returns it to defult setting, whatever it is.

You try inputting each command 1 by 1 by restarting the system with each command to find out which one was causing the problem. If none of these fixes the issue, then something else(e.g driver) is causing it.

Enter in safe mode to check if the issue will persist there.

To enter in safe mode press shift+restart, then go to troubleshoot>advanced options>see more recovery options and then select start-up settings and restart. The system will restart and then select safe boot.

I just tried it and nothing changed but the mouse lag, it was gone. Also another thing: Far cry 4 also is lagging horribly when the temps aren't preceeding 62 on the cpu and about 53 on the gpu. Just before yesterday I was playing it and it was all fine that with the horrible thermals.

I just remembered something and I'm hoping it's not what caused the issue. Before yesterday I searched online on ways to solve micro-stuttering in games and I found several articles( one on reddit ) and videos that said to write this in cmd "bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes" with all people saying it helped them really well in games without saying anything about lagging. Well I didn't write this command only but wrote also 2 other ones that an article said will totally remove micro-stuttering
