Weird sudden fps

[AlphaBetaOmega]

aight so it started today, i just wanted to play valorant and i get 30-70 fps instead 130 - 200.. cpu and gpu clock are normal , usage and temps too. well not too normal since i have a laptop but it is as always.

same with genshin, i get like 30 fps suddenly instead 60. now stupid me did download something pirated today , but i deleted it and scanned my pc with malwarebytes ( a short scan) and nothing was found. i have restarted my pc 3 times and still the same. please help

 

btw i only see that now but for some reason windows explorer is taking half my cpu usage.. and %80 gpu usage

Windows Explorer doesn't like pirated things. Just leave your laptop open and turned on for a few hours and it'll sort itself out. Beyond that we're not allowed to help with piracy but I don't know if that extends to problems caused by piracy.

Yes, but I don't know if it's against the forum rules to help with problems caused by piracy even if the software doesn't exist anymore. But I'm going to assume it's not against the rules so, basically what is happening is Windows Explorer is trying to 'figure out' what is happening with the malware that was in that file, it may have affected other files so it is scanning for that. Open Task Manager, it's probably using maybe 5-10% of your SSD too. Again if you just leave the computer running for a while it will sort itself out.
