It's been like 3 days now and it happened so suddenly. Everytime the Witcher 3 is running, my PC gets ridiculously laggy. The weird part is that the game itself runs and plays normally with the exception of keyboard inputs, but everything else in the background becomes so slow. I first noticed it trying to type some stuff into the debug console; keyboard inputs were laggy but gamepad inputs were normal. When the game gets minimized into the background, the PC becomes nigh unusable (takes like 30+ seconds for a right click menu to show up.
Another thing is that other games run normally without affecting the pc. I haven't changed anything recently and have tried removing mods, turning off reshade and even made an alternate install; still lags in the back. This is really bizarre because I've been playing for 2 years with no issue and this suddenly happens. Can't find anything relevant on the net either.
I would really appreciate any input into the matter.
