I've been getting these freeze lags and stutters while using S1.

If I look at the task manager and CPU load, it's barely 50% in a heavy project. 

An example creating these freeze lags is when using Arcade and downloading samples in it. While downloading, it usually flows quite alright, but when the download is completing, the entire computer freezes for a while. Sometimes I can still move my cursor, although with an update of like 1 movement per second. 

I thought the issue was related to Arcade, but now I'm seeing the same type of issue when loading projects in S1. 

Any ideas what this could be related to? Either a poor Windows setup creating this, or a possible hardware issue? 

I've seen users mention that some graphics drivers are not working well. I've been trying a lot of different drivers and neither one works better.

Anything else I could try to get rid of this issue? Could there be a BIOS setting creating this? Since I can't see any CPU/GPU/RAM overloads anywhere, it doesn't look like that's the issue.
