    Asus laptop drop fps whenever there's Intel driver update

    My laptop is ASUS Vivobook X556UQ and theses are its specs : LaptopMedia ASUS Vivobook X556UQ [Specs and Benchmarks] - LaptopMedia.com

    • Intel Core i7-7500U
    • NVIDIA GeForce 940MX (2GB DDR3)
    • 15.6”, Full HD (1920 x 1080)
    • 1TB HDD
    • 8GB DDR4
    My problem is whenever there's an new driver update coming out for my processor Intel or any of Intel processor's components, my laptop gets a huge drop FPS specially in video games (i made sure i checked the FPS before and after the update release).

    What is your interpretation of this weird huge drop FPS? And how to fix it?

    FPS drop on Windows 10

    what is the model of your laptop. What graphic drivers do you have installed? Can you list a game or two where you measured the FPS drop?
