Windows 10: Something is wrong with my Display Adapter

So basically after a "Optional Update" the display adapter decided to break By the way the optional update was for some drivers . I started to realize that all my games on my PC went to 30 FPS or lower and to make sure there was no FPS cap I went to the lowest graphics and it gave me 60 FPS so there was for sure no FPS cap. So I decided to "Restart" my display adapter All I did was just disable and enable it and what do you know all my games were back to 60 FPS, but the catch is that I have to do this every time I close my laptop or restart it. I know its not that bad ,but it really get on my nerve's.



So what can I do to fix this problem?
