I have an Acer Nitro 5 with the following specs:
• CPU: Intel i5-11400H @ 2.70 GHz (11th Gen)
• GPU: GTX 1650
• RAM: 16GB

Everything was running fine until two days ago when I was playing a game, and all of a sudden, it started lagging mid-game. Now, every game I play has almost only 30FPS and below, even when my laptop is plugged in.

What I’ve Tried So Far:

✔ Set Preferred Graphics Processor to High-Performance NVIDIA Processor in the NVIDIA Control Panel.
✔ Set the game to use High-Performance GTX 1650 in Settings > Display > Graphics.
✔ Reinstalled my GPU drivers (clean install using NVIDIA’s latest drivers). Please help!
