So, you may be wondering what I mean by having internet lag on my entire client considering single player instances do not run through internet. Well you know how internet lag basically doesn't drop fps, though it delays actions taken by entities such as pushing a cow then it teleporting to the space a few seconds later where it would have been pushed. I have that throughout my entire client. Single and Multiplayer. And being an Owner of a server, I prefer to use my desktop rather than my laptop to play Minecraft but this problem is preventing me from doing so. The other day it actually went away but it has appeared to have returned for whatever reason. This issue is really annoying me, and I'd like to get to the bottom of it. This issue does not occur on any other games. Solely, Minecraft.
There is something running on your computer in the background that is hogging resources. The first thing I would do is boot into safe mode without networking, run your anti virus and anti spyware, run a scan for bad sectors on the hard disc, then defragment the entire drive. Next I would go into the list of programs that start up when the computer turns on and shut off everything that isn't an essential operating system process. Reboot into normal mode and see if that clears the lag. If it doesn't open the system manager and manually shut down every single process that doesn't cause your computer to shut off. If that clears the lag, you can start shutting them off 1 at a time to see what program is stuttering. (I have a program called dragon gaming center on my MSI that monitors system resources. If that is on when i played certain games, I lag like crazy). If all of that fails, try a fresh install of Minecraft and all launchers. Lastly, as a last resort, reformat.
@dbkson It is possible that 2 programs are conflicting with each other. Games are in fact one of the worst things we can put on our computer because most of them will change settings for the game can run optimally. If 2 settings are changed and conflict with each other, all sorts of strange things can happen.
I honestly don't know what to do. I've scanned my PC for viruses in safe mode, scanned and repaired my hard drive, even completely deleted and re-installed Minecraft on 32-bit java rather than 64 and used the Minecraft installer rather than exe. And non of this has worked. This is very frustrating as it it is the only game I have that does this and it's because of java, considering it doesn't do this on Minecraft Win 10 Edition that runs of C++. I've even tried setting the priority of java as high as Realtime and to no prevail.
I am sorry you are having a hard time, I feel your pain. I read somewhere that there was a specific version of java that runs MC smoother than the newer iterations (although I could not cite a source). Perhaps try a few older versions? And for the record, if your OS is 643 bit, make sure your java is too. Don't forget, as a last resort, wipe your rig clean and install everything fresh.
I found out that my ASUS ROG G20 runs some extra processes installed by ASUS and upon stopping them, as well as a few others not run by SYSTEM for additional help, I am able to run Minecraft normally. I really do thank you for all your help and support!
Image of the processes:
Mostly the AEGIS and ASUS processes, as well as any with that little red triangular logo such as BLMonitor, though I'm not sure if that affects it I close it out anyway just to be safe since it's not necessary to run.

Do you think it's possible that McAfee is causing the issue?
UPDATE: Nvm. Uninstalled McAfee and it actually almost seems as if it got even worse.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand now that my PC has updated, it's doing it again - even with those processes closed out.
