Yo guys
So like for the last 5 updates this happening like im playing valorant or something else and because of driver the performance gets fd up
When i try to update it it shows this screen and loading for an eternity update screen never pops up
But like after a day or two it magically gets back to the normal and i can update my drive or mess up with my settings

You can download drivers from the official site below. (You will need to specify your GPU and operating system.)

On a laptop, both iGPU and dGPU drivers should be installed for full functionality and performance.

NVIDIA
AMD
Intel

Open your Device Manager and double check if your GPU is detected or not

If your game is running slowly or are experiencing frame drops/stutters on your laptop, please ensure you have done the follow:

  • Make sure that your laptop is plugged into the AC Charger that matches or exceeds the input rating on your laptop. Many laptops will limit performance of the laptop (including the CPU and GPU) while on battery power to conserve battery life.
  • If a laptop supports both barrel plug and USB Type-C charging, always use the barrel plug unless stated otherwise or if you don't have such an adapter.
  • In laptop control center (MSI Dragon Center/Gigabyte Control Center/Armory Crate/Alienware Command Center/OMEN Gaming Hub), please ensure your power profiles are set to “Maximum/Highest/Gaming/Turbo/Performance”
  • Ensure that your programs or games are set to run on the dGPU (Graphics Card) instead of the iGPU. You can set games to use the dGPU (Graphics Card) by going to the Settings app > Display > Graphics > Change default graphics settings, and making sure that the Default high performance GPU is set to the dGPU. Make sure that your game is listed in the list of programs If the program is not listed, you can manually add them in by selecting Browse and go to the folder where the .exe file is located. Afterwards, click on the application name/icon. Select Options, set the application to your preferred GPU and press save.

Note 1: For XBox Game Pass Games, change the dialog “Desktop App” to “Microsoft Store”
Note 2: Windows & Nvidia have removed the function to change the GPU settings in the Nvidia Control Panel. Any outdated instructions telling you to change it on the NVIDIA Control Panel WILL NOT WORK on systems with both modern Windows and modern GPU.
