DMA5F lagging in Win10

[SolRayz]

Anyone else experiencing lagging in Windows 10 which is temporarily solved by rebooting. Then after some time the lagging begins again, requiring reboot. The cycle continues over and over.

I have the latest AMD drivers and the latest Windows version. I am running only one monitor at 4K resolution.

I have looked at task manager when it is lagging, and there are no processes that are spiking CPU usage that could cause lag. Also my temps are normal.

This has been doing this since I first received the mini computer.

I don't experience this issue, but it might be worth running in safe mode/"clean boot" for a while to see if the issue persists. Also, you could disabling the apps that start up with windows to see if that helps.

Since nothing shows up in Task Manager at the time, perhaps something is waiting on the network. Many apps (including Windows) may communicate over the internet in the background even if it's not readily apparent. You may want to disable the "Allow windows to turn off this device to save energy" setting in your network adapter's properties just in case the system is waiting to revive the network adapter periodically after allowing it to power down/sleep.

I've also read this can happen if your Windows background is a slideshow. If that's the case, you could disable it to see if it helps.

You could also try installing an older version of your video driver temporarily just in case something funky was introduced in the latest version that causes an issue.

Please refer to the picture, and use a paperclip to press and hold the reset hole to clear cmos to try to restore.

Install the free Ookla SPEEDTEST app in the Windows Store. Check your Wifi reception. Mine was uneven and half the typical speed.

Due to the AX200 problem, I have compiled some information for your reference to solve the network speed problem.
1. Update the latest driver of AX200: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/30112/-Windows-10-Wi-Fi-
2. Check what type of WiFi the router is (wifi6? wifi5?) If it is a wifi5 router, it is recommended to set the wireless mode of ax200 to 802.11n.

3. You can try to change the channel to solve

4.Place the minipc close to the wireless router and check if it is an antenna problem

DMAF5 has very weak WiFi performance. My Lenovo laptop also uses Intel AX200 11ax adapter with same Intel drivers and has no problem. I think the problem is antenna location inside DMAF5 metal case. Can you test with antenna mounted under plastic top cover. If this is better can you provide instructions how to make this modification
