I'm having issues with micro stutters in every game I play, whether they're online or offline, and even while using programs that calculate FPS like FurMark. I've checked the System Event Viewer and found a warning related to DistributedCOM. It mentions that the application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for a specific COM Server application. I'm not sure if this is causing my stuttering problem or not.
Here are my PC specs:
- CPU: i3-9100F
- Motherboard: H310 TUF Plus Gaming M.2
- RAM: 16GB Kingston 2666 MHz
- GPU: AMD RX 570 4GB
I've already tried several solutions, including updating and resetting the BIOS, closing overlays and hardware acceleration in Discord, disconnecting my second monitor, reinstalling Windows, locking frames at 60 FPS, disabling AMD's Anti-Lag, and shutting down all background programs.

What games are you playing? I get the feeling your CPU is really struggling with modern titles since it's pretty weak.
Honestly, this seems like it could just be due to your PC being on the lower end for gaming. Your CPU is older and was low spec even when it launched, and your GPU is from 2016. You might want to consider a clean install of Windows and using a debloat tool. Sometimes, background applications can hog CPU resources, causing those annoying stutters.
I've noticed that RAM speed can really impact performance, especially frame times. If you haven’t already, try setting your RAM to the highest frequency that's stable in your BIOS. A mild memory overclock might help your performance a bit.
