Sudden FPS Drop After Upgrading to Windows 10

[AmericanPolarBear]

Hi,

I recently upgraded from Windows 7 (yes yes, I know..) to Windows 10 Pro version. I selected the 90 day trial version so far and did not get a chance to purchase the activation key, but I am not sure if this is a factor in my issue.

Additionally, I purchased a Samsung 860 QVO 1T SSD as an upgrade from my old HDD. I installed Win10 on the SSD, as well as a few programs to test my Graphics Card.

I updated all of the drivers I could from Windows Update, and downloaded the specific drivers from the manufacturers' websites of my GPU, CPU, and monitor.

Nonetheless, instead of the ~120 or~150 FPS that I get from running programs like CS:GO (on lowest settings), I have been getting anywhere from 30-60 FPS (same settings)...

I have looked through all of the extra Windows 10 features and disabled anything that I figured might be using up resources such as Xbox Capture, and things like that.


Here are my Specs:

CPU: AMD A8-6600K APU
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti
Monitor: ASUS VG27WQ (1440p 144Hz)
Motherboard: Gigabyte F2A78M-HD2 Rev 3.0

SSD: Samsung 860 QVO 1T

HDD: Seagate Barracude 1T

Ram: 8 GB Kingston (DDR3 I think)

PSU: Logisys PS480D with Total Average Output listed as 330 Watts.

Bios Version/Date listed as: "American Megatrends Inc. F1, 1/9/2014"

 

Windows 7 version was 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601  x64 Bit

Windows 10 version is 2004.

 

I booted from the Hard drive containing Windows 7, tested CS:GO, and had the same 120-150 FPS, so the issue seems to be with Windows 10?

Please let me know if there is any other information that could be helpful in solving this issue I am having. Thank you!

I'm sorry for this really stupid question...

 

Did you plug the monitor into the board or into the GPU?  (Sry people have made this mistake, so gotta ask)

No Problem!

 

The monitor is plugged into the GPU through HDMI.

Ok phew lol.

 

Chipset driver too?? I seen everything up to date.

 

I'm wondering the same as you if the Windows Trial version lacks important updates a full version would. That we won't know till you get a key. 

Speaking of which, on ebay US, are about 20 bucks.

Chipset driver is fine too, I made sure everything was up to date with Windows Update, and then got several specific drivers from AMD and Nvidia.

 

Any idea what the problem could be?
