Valorant FPS drop after installing the cumulative updates for Windows 10 version 20H2

Basically, I am experiencing huge fps drops while playing Valorant, and this problem has started ever since I updated my Windows 10 20H2 with the 2022-01 updates (KB5008876 and KB5009543). The game used to run smoothly and I even downgraded my Intel display driver after a similar inconvenience I faced in Sept. 2021, and tried doing the same but there has been no change. I am low-key considering updating my Windows to the 21H1 version, but just am not sure if it will solve the problem or not.

My graphics - Intel UHD Graphics 620 (version - 27.20.100.8853)

    So I updated my Windows 10 to the said version and it didn't really solve the problem, but the overall app experience improved a bit. I then downgraded my Intel display driver even more and that finally got rid of the issue.

    But thank you for suggestion!

    Hi Prathamesh11

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Your version of Windows 10 is over 1 year out of date, while there is no guarantee that updating your system to 21h2 will solve this FPS drop problem, it is honestly the best thing to do, because the newest Intel drivers would target that latest Widows10 build.

    Click the link below, then click 'Update Now' on that page to download the Update Assistant, then run that to immediately get 21h2 and bring your PC right up to date
