Windows 10: Laptop Slows Down After Being In Game For A Bit

Hello everyone. I usually try to look up in the internet on pc issues and try to solve it myself despite only knowing your generic gaming related info. This time around, I can't seem to find out a solution. So for the first time ever, I decided to make my own question/thread/discussion


The issue starts around I think March-ish. So its been about a month. The problem I have is my laptop would at first when I enter a game. Any game at all, it would run fine. High graphics on most games and I get at least 60 fps. More than enough to play. The problem starts about probably 10 - 20 mins in, and my laptop would start slowing down very quickly. So much so that it becomes unplayable. It was dropping to around 10 - 20 fps i'm not sure about this but its very choppy and unplayable. I tried dropping my graphics all the way to low and it didn't help at all. I tried reinstalling my games nothing. Scanning my drives for issues but it says there was no issue found by the windows diagnostic. I tried scanning for virus with Windows Defender and I did get a result of a Trojan file which I got rid off, still nothing. I also reluctantly tried to reinstall windows 10 to no avail.


My Laptop Omen 15 Specs:


Windows 10 Home Single Language Version 1909

IntelR CoreTM i5-9300H CPU @ 2.40GHz

RAM 16 GB

Nvidia Geforce RTX 2060


I made sure to check task manager to see any software eating up my CPU/RAM and I don't think there's anything that stood out except maybe Chrome please take this with a grain of salt as I'm not very knowledgeable on these things. My CPU sits at around 10 - 15% maybe even 20% on very rare cases and my ram sitting at around 30% most of the time.


I usually play online games particularly fighting games on steam, and I don't think they are particularly difficult to run. I would also like to note that before March, I'm pretty sure I didn't have any issues running these games on max settings with no noticeable frame drops. Thank you and I'm sorry for the long post

HELP! My Laptop has gone into SLOW MOTION!

Should be able to get a "step-by-step here;

Support | Dell Deutschland

 

Gaming Lag and Background Intelligence Transfer Service (BITS)

Upon further research on you issue, it appears to be that the online game that you're playing needs the BITS functionality. We suggest performing the following:

• Can you turn off all P2P, downloads to all the devices and play the game.
• Check your other online game that you're playing if you are experiencing the same issue.

Looking forward to your reply.
