Hey everyone

I've been playing some games on my laptop and everything has been running just fine. I shut it down last night and when I booted it up this morning all the games I was playing had terrible performance. It was only running ~20 FPS on the games I was previously playing. There were no updates to any of the games or anything like that. I changed the graphics settings to the lowest possible and there was still no difference. I ran HWMonitor as well as checked cpu/gpu/memory usage while playing and there was no notable difference from before the issues began. Any ideas on what the issue may be? I'm kind of stumped at this point. Any help is greatly appreciated!
