Check Power Options : a Windows update or driver installer can switch to Balanced or a battery saver profile. On laptops, also check the manufacturer's performance mode app.

First rule out the obvious: on laptops, check that teh game actually uses the dedicated GPU. Settings System Display Graphics , add the games .exe, set it to High performance , driver updates can reset per app GPU preferences.

hmm idk i'd remove the old unused printer drivers too. leftover drivers from old printers cause spooler crashes surprisingly often.

hmmm whats the hardware ID of the PCI Simple Communications Controller? ?
