Initially, I want to say sorry for my English and communication abilities.
Laptop model: ASUS ROG Strix G15 G513IM-HN008w (2021)
CPU: Ryzen 7 4800H
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3060 6GB
RAM: 16GB
OS: Windows 11 23H2
Recently, my laptop has been behaving oddly. For instance, in CS 2, I achieved an average of 110 fps even with the lowest settings, and in Valorant, around 100 fps at the lowest. The temperatures were normal—CPU around 70°C without boost, about 95°C with boost—and no thermal or power throttling was detected via HWinfo64. All drivers were up to date.
The unusual occurrences began two days ago when I opted for a clean install of Windows 11 23H2 and completely removed everything, marking my first OS reinstall. I installed all required drivers (GPU, integrated graphics, chipset, etc.), removed all unnecessary software, and stopped Asus services using G-Helper. After the installation, CS 2 ran smoothly with an average of nearly 220 fps—over 100 fps better than before.
Of course, I was thrilled and went to sleep thinking about it. When I returned home, I tried CS 2 again and saw the same impressive performance. I didn’t even leave the laptop overnight. After downloading the latest drivers and updating everything, the system ran smoothly. The next day, performance returned to what it had been previously, and I’m still unsure what caused the issue. Could it be related to Asus services? (Although G-Helper disabled all Asus services and attempted to uninstall every piece of bloatware I could find). I also didn’t risk installing Armoury crate.

Welcome to the forums, new member!
Your current system is Windows 11 23H2, but you're on 25H2. I'm on 24H2. Your OS needs updates. You might want to rebuild your bootable USB using Windows Media Creation Tools and install the operating system in offline mode. Then, manually add all necessary drivers with the newest versions while offline.
It would also be wise to verify if your laptop requires any BIOS updates.
