Please note this scales over a month period so far!

Hi all, so I came to play after a few weeks off due to health and my game was lagging bad every few mins I went through a lot of trouble shooting trying to find it, and saw a few posts on here about core parking power setups and a few others, i even spent time  looking through the log and couldnt see any issues but ignored one i found about my printer (yes in the dcs log) i found as i didn't think that would or even could cause it. At the same time i decided to format the pc for ease of having a nice clean pc again. a week later after intense playing after the reformat i was clear no lags no issues at all, but yesterday i installed my HP smart app and printer and it happened again,

i went into the log and saw this (please not this is from this morning but it was this warning just different time)

2024-07-16 10:12:08.738 INFO APP (Main): Device unplugged: [SWD] HPBB962C.cable.virginm.net (HP ENVY 6000 series) 2024-07-16 10:12:09.083 WARNING WORLD (Main): ModelTimeQuantizer: ANTIFREEZE ENABLED 2024-07-16 10:12:09.085 INFO APP (Main): Device unplugged: [SWD] HPBB962C.cable.virginm.net (HP ENVY 6000 series) 2024-07-16 10:12:09.612 WARNING LOG (23676): 1 duplicate message(s) skipped. 2024-07-16 10:12:09.612 INFO APP (Main): Device plugged: [SWD] HPBB962C.cable.virginm.net (HP ENVY 6000 series) 2024-07-16 10:12:09.963 WARNING WORLD (Main): ModelTimeQuantizer: ANTIFREEZE ENABLED 2024-07-16 10:12:09.965 INFO APP (Main): Device plugged: [SWD] HPBB962C.cable.virginm.net (HP ENVY 6000 series) 2024-07-16 10:12:10.305 WARNING WORLD (Main): ModelTimeQuantizer: ANTIFREEZE ENABLED 2024-07-16 10:12:10.307 INFO APP (Main): Device plugged: [SWD] HPBB962C.cable.virginm.net (HP ENVY 6000 series) 2024-07-16 10:12:10.643 WARNING WORLD (Main): ModelTimeQuantizer: ANTIFREEZE ENABLED 2024-07-16 10:12:17.050 INFO Dispatcher (Main): Stop

this is the bit i ignored the first time so i decided to test it by uninstalling my printer device and it worked fine, rest of the night and this morning. So better safe than sorry i reinstalled my printer and the lagging started again! so i decided to uninstalled again and copy the error from the log which i've posted above. and since uninstalling i've had no issue what so ever, so any one have any clues why my printer is causing this and how i can fix it please, as kinda need my printer to thanks
