These issues started right after the windows updates, date of problem starting is September - 2nd week.
My pc began to ''lag at random times / fps drop'' but I just thought it was a temporary issue. After some time passed, pc began to lag too much on flight simulator even though I have already set ''high performance'' on both nvidia panel and power managements and even though my system requirements were enough to handle, yet I didn't max the graphics settings of simulator. I deleted the flight simulator while hoping that redownload fixes it. It was still the same. That problem frustrated me and I switched to playing League of Legends to distract myself from problem. Almost 1,5 weeks later, my league of legends wasn't responding right after champion select preparings. I checked my task manager and League of Legends was using 100% CPU. On the other hand my flight simulator was only using like 20% of CPU and processor speed wasn't going more than 0,98. Sometimes it dropped to 0,19 haha. I ran system recovery and still the same. I watched too many videos on youtube related to this issue and applied them, still the same. It has only been a month since I bought this pc. Please help. I think to reinstall a clean windows 10. Note that my pc wasn't damaged. It was working too fine until problem begins.
My system specs are:
Intel (R) Core (TM) i5-1035G1 Base Speed 1,19 (can be increased to 3,20)
Nvidia MX330
8 GB Ram
Windows 10 PRO 64-Bit
(Laptop)

I reviewed your post and I understand that you are facing issues with FPS drop and performance.
Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.
What is the product number of your computer?
Meanwhile, I recommend you update the BIOS and the graphics driver from the below link and check if it helps.

Hi, sir @The_Fossette. I did a reset on my laptop and deleted everything, then it reinstalled windows by my preference. This just fixed my ''League of Legends not responding'' issue. But cpu speed was still lower than 1ghz while gaming. 2 days ago I updated the BIOS. Yesterday, I switched to Win10 Home by removing Win10 Pro because I thought it could be a bug related to windows updates. Still no improvements. I will try drivers today. Thanks for your reply, sir. I'm really glad you are trying to help. 🙂
MY PRODUCT NUMBER is:
3H813EA#AB8
PRODUCT NAME is:
HP Laptop 15-dw2xxx

It didn't work, sir, unfortunately. HPSA indicates that all of my drivers have already been updated. i5-1035G1 processor still locks itself at 0.98 speed while running games but turns back to min 3,00 around speed after closing games. I'm also so sure that system requirements are enough to handle games. I did stress test and heats are normal too. All kind of performance settings are set to ''High Performance''

I recommend you perform a system test on the computer to make sure that there are no hardware issues on the computer.
Follow the steps in the below article.

It shows me that all stages of hardware test are successful. So I can't see a problem as a result of test. I think that problem is something about software of laptop. You too have a great day, sir 🙂
