Found the cause of my input lag

Do not install using the first option. Download the second option then flash it onto a usb using rufus software. Not saying this is the input lag fix for everyone, but it certainly was the fix for my machine as the input lag was instantly better, and has remained fixed for multiple weeks now. Just thought that it was a lower risk possible fix to recommend to people instead of some of the much more risky and expensive "tweaks" that are thrown out.

How about for windows 10?

You can make your own bootable USB with Microsoft "bootsect", I tried writing the detailed instructions here but cloudflare thinks I'm doing command injection and blocks my post.

In short copy the Windows ISO files to your formatted USB drive, run the command "bootsect /nt60 d:" (if d: is your usb drive letter) found in your new usb drives /boot folder e.g. D:\boot\bootsect.

After lurking on this forum for years this was the one time thing that has helped me truly. Dude I could cry right now lol. Who would of thought that this would’ve been an issue. I probably reinstalled windows 10/11 more than anybody on this forum. Today was the first day that I downloaded the iso & created a bootable usb through Rufus & the mouse movement was so responsive that it caught me off guard. Again I cannot thank you enough. I’m going to the dentist today to get all my wisdom teeth pulled & this made my day so much better. I played 1 game of cs2 before I have to leave & it felt so good. Dude thank you so much.

I'm glad that it helped

Im not positive about Windows 10 but make sure that you dont use the media creation tool, just find the .iso version and use rufus to flash it to a usb.

I've used rufus for 100+ installs of different windows builds/versions, still struggling. I've never used the windows tool though

Tried it but it didnt seemed to help much, maybe a little bit but mouse still imprecise ... itn no fun playing shooter like this and i dont think i will find a solution for it... tried so many things tweaking in bios, playing arround with windows settings, changed ram, baught some Ferrit rings, puted it in different power outlets in the house, disconnectet discs and ssds from sata... but i had this akward mouse feeling since day one with this pc ... but have it on all other pc in the house 2 even on laptop (tested in and outside of the house )

IDK it could just be placebo, but to me the difference is immediately noticeable on two different machines, as well as both machines when using the base windows creation usb tool instead of the rufus iso install there where broken files that had to be repaired via sfc/ scannow in cmd prompt literally right after you install, but the same problem doesnt occur when using the rufus install. If you run sfc/scannow right after installing the iso version it finds no broken files.

No its not a placebo , windows creation usb tool makes mouse movement sucks
