1 second freeze/stutter

[ZeroX4]

i repair PC's from over 10 years already and trust me any strange behavior is kinda normal in this case
for instance like a year ago my pc started lagging when entering windows after startup
and it was like literally launched some heavy game few times on it while nothing was running on it since it was just after windows start

turns out 1 of my USB hub was damaged and was causing the problem
and who would even think about checking USB hub when your pc lags? well i found it by pure accident so believe me nothing is strange when it comes to pc just not everything makes sense

next thing you wanna check is ctrl+alt+delete go to task manager now sort programs by memory usage and look if anything devour ur memory too much and try closing that task

next sort by user name and disable what you think its not needed atm what have your user name next to it

other thing you can try tweaking this options in ppsspp

game settings
- rendering resolution
- rendering mode
- texture filtering
- screen scaling filter
- texture scaling

and idk to what you should set them just try different combinations and lowest values
