Synopsis: My computer is weird in the sense that my fps and performance significantly drops if I don’t have task manager open. Weird I know but I’ve done some testing with it running in the backgroun and with it off, MASSIVE difference. Anyways, for the past week, my pc has been performing fine while I play Valorant and The Division 2. I was playing valorant at 250+ Fps and TD2 was about 150+. This problem started two days ago where no matter what I do, even with task manager open, my fps in Valorant has dropped to 100 and The Division 2 has dropped to about 50 fps… I don’t know how to go about fixing this problem and I don’t recall installing anything suspicious that might bog the system down. I’m currently running a virus scan to see if I catch anything but I’m hoping someone here can give me some insight…
