So I tested with an ethernet cord and it work's perfect no lag spikes at all I could actually play a full game without lagging out so I'm not sure whats going on I have a brand new WiFi adapter and uninstalled my old one because it started to crash my computer and I'm not sure what I should do. Could factory resetting it fix the problem??

The issue with your old one could have been a bad driver. Plug the old one in if you still have it, go to Device Manager, find the adapter, and tell Windows to remove the driver for it. Then yank it and plug in the new one and make sure it's got its own driver.

So I tried it and it's still having lag spikes but they aren't as frequent as they were so I may try another game to see if that fixes it if not I'm not sure i couldnt find any new drivers for the adapter and I couldn't even find the adapter on the product website
