High CPU usage in games when in full screen, fine in bordered windowed mode

I am having really strange gaming performance issues with my new Dell 7567 gaming laptop (core i5-7300HQ, 8gb ram, gtx1050ti 4gb, running all available windows, driver, and bios updates). Basically some games (Doom, and No Man's Sky in particular) experience extremely high cpu usage in either full screen mode, while in windowed mode, with borders, the games would run as expected based on the hardware. I'm not sure if I explained that well enough, so I attached some pics of the Doom in game overlay to hopefully show what is happening. Even though these are shown using the Vulkan API, I have verified that it also happens using OpenGL. So I am wondering if anyone knows what is happening and if there is a fix for it.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

It seems that it's not a big problem?，are there some delay while you playing

DDU the driver and reinstall Geforce experience and driver. See if that helps

Unfortunately, neither made any difference

hmmm does clock speed reduce in full screen mode?

Sorry for taking so long with the response, been moving into a new apartment and finally got internet again. Anyways, to answer the question, yes, clock speeds and overall usage (according to MSI Afterburner) of both the CPU and GPU drop when in fullscreen mode (and windowed borderless mode), when compared to windowed mode

Try set the power plan in Windows to High Performance. The screenshot in Doom shows the unreasonable underclock of the CPU. the GPU seems fine.
