    Hello, I'm Jan and I'm happy to help you today. I'm sorry that you are experiencing this problem. FPS drop can be caused by outdated drivers or background applications. Also, Make sure Windows is updated.

    1. Check if you have any available restore points then perform a system restore. As there might be an update or changes in the system that is causing the FPS drop. Use System Restore

    https://support.microsoft.com//windows/use-syst...

    1. Try to reinstall and update these device driver graphics, audio, and chipset. Download them directly at the Manufacturer's support website and install them. Do not use any driver updater software to download the latest drivers.

    Clean and install both AMD and Nvidia graphics drivers.

    Display Driver Uninstaller

    https://www.guru3d.com/download/display-driver-...

    Run the application from Safe mode.

    https://support.microsoft.com//windows/start-yo...

    Select Clean and restart

    Once the drivers are uninstalled

    Install the latest Graphics Card driver

    1. Disable unnecessary applications programs that are running from the startup

    Press CTRL+ALT+Delete

    Then click on Task Manager

    Then Navigate to Startup Tab

    ( from there you can Disable unnecessary applications running from the startup)

    1. Perform a Clean Boot to disable unnecessary startup and services.

    1. If you have any third-party antivirus or cleaners installed. Fully uninstall them using their removal tool software.

    Restart your computer

    1. Run "system file checker" to scan and repair corrupted system files

    Open the command prompt as an administrator.

    Then type in each command and press Enter.

    sfc /scannow

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    restart your computer.

    1. This will upgrade and repair your system without losing your files and apps.

    Download the Media creation tool here.

    https://www.microsoft.com//software-download/wi...

    Then choose "ISO"

    Once it is downloaded click or open the file using the Windows Explorer

    Then open or click "setup" to run.

    1. If that didn't work. Check if there are any installed power management or power control utility manufaturer software. Ensure that any power saving is disabled.
