HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec1000 Laptop PC (9EK37AV)
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, I've had my HP Pavilion Laptop for about 21 months now, AMD Ryzen 7 4800H with Radeon Graphics + NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti, with 8 GB memory, 255 GB SSD and

1 TB Hardrive. Now after a while not playing, coming back to it, when I boot up and start playing games they stutter severely where in the past they never did. I think I initially noticed that it was also affecting the loading speed of my modelling software such as ArchiCAD, Twinmotion and Photoshop, but I didn't think much of it at the time. I installed MSIAfterburner, at a friends request, to see if overheating may be the problem, but it doesn't seem as if the GPU's temperature is causing the issue. I could really use some assistance with the issue since it would also help with improving my work productivity. Thank You.
