The problem has been resolved. My video games are now exhibiting reduced performance—yet, the question remains: why?
My computer games have recently become noticeably slower. I used to achieve frame rates of 75-80 frames per second in Grand Theft Auto V, but now I'm experiencing only 30-60 frames per second. I’ve observed that my processor reaches 100% utilization while operating at temperatures between 55-60 degrees Celsius, and my graphics card maintains a temperature of 60-63 degrees Celsius under load. I’ve attempted to install a fresh operating system and experimented with various drivers, but the issue persists. I’m at a loss to understand what's causing this problem.
My system specifications are as follows:
CPU - i5 4590
RAM - 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz
GPU - GTX 1650
If you haven’t modified any settings, Windows hasn't altered anything, and your game remains unchanged...
Have you installed anything other than the recently updated drivers and Windows reinstalls?

Navigate to Nvidia’s website and download the newest driver package – do not install it immediately.
Cut your internet connection: This prevents Windows from automatically installing a standard driver.
Execute DDU (in safe mode), select the graphics driver, then click “clean” and restart.
After restarting and logging back in, locate the driver package and install it – DO NOT install GEFORCE EXPERIENCE; choose the clean installation option.
Once…
Have you recently installed any new software – such as Windows, Rockstar Launcher (if applicable), a web browser, security protection software, or peripherals like a keyboard and mouse?
