Microsoft’s latest round of Windows 10 updates has an adverse effect on game performance. This is according to increasing reports on r/Windows10 and other social media, which claim that KB5001330, KB5001337, and KB5000842 have introduced various issues such as reduced frame rates, stuttering, Vsync oddities, and even BSODs after being installed.

Yea I run high performance all the time. On the laptop if it's plugged in high performance 24/7 as well. Only on battery do I let it manage.
