My PC slows down when downloading

I have a very strange issue, my PC seems to slow down when I get to download something fast. The mouse moves slow and jumping and if I'm listening or watching something, the audio struggles a lot. I attach a video where you can listen the music: (the volume is a bit soft, but I think you can hear it).

It does not matter if the download goes to the SSD or the HD.

My pc is:

  • Windows 10
  • CPU Intel 4790

  • MSI Z97 Gaming 5

  • G.Skill TridentX DDR3 1600 PC3-12800 16GB 2x8GB CL7

  • Kingston SSDNow V300 240GB

  • HD 1TB (Seagate)

  • Tacens Valeo V 700W 80 Plus Silver Modular

  • My network adapter is this one ( Intel 6300AGN ):

  • nVidia 2070 Super

I found the solution: change the Energy Mode of Windows 10 from "high performance" to "Balanced". Somehow the "high performance" mode was only using one core of the CPU.
