Stuttering Games

[MeldHunter]

I have a ryzen 5 7600 for my CPU and 6700xt for my GPU. After doing a Windows update all my games are stuttering for some reason. I cleaned out my PC to make sure that dust wasn't the problem but its a fairly new PC so it wasn't a huge issue. The main problem is that when I booted up AMD Adrenalin to check my CPU temps, it was reading 0 Celsius but the usage was around 30% when using a web browser. Could the problem be the CPU cooling system or something else? Any help is appreciated.

0 degrees Celsius? That's odd. What cooler are you using?

 

Outside of that, I suggest you run Disk Clean-Up, "sfc /scannow" in Command Prompt, and running Windows Update (and whatever software you use for your GPU drivers). If that doesn't work, try a reinstall.

Did the Windows update have any optional driver updates that you included?

I am using the stock cooler. I updated GPU drivers through the Adrenalin thing. Not sure if any of the commands you provided did anything to help.

There was one but it didnt fix it. Its so frustrating not being able to play anything.

I did notice my sleep option is gone and the PC is not recognizing my monitor as a speaker anymore.

windows update likely messed something up... so download DDU, remove the AMD driver completely and then install a new one from the AMD website.

This would not remove any of my data right?
