when i downloaded the nvidia app i allowed it to optimize the games since i thought that maybe some would run smoother. well that didnt work, so i reverted all the changes from the app, but the changes were still there.
i also uninstalled completely the app
for example: i have a gaming laptop, let's say i play valorant while im charging the laptop, i get the usual fps, but when i unplug the charger the fps drop down to 30, when instead i would just continue playing at usual fps in the past.
the nvidia app idk how but also changed a browser game i play, now if im not constantly plugged in i get 30 fps.
does anybody know what the app changed and how to revert it because i can't keep my laptop charging 24/7

Your "issue" is not a problem with auto-optimization or settings, but rather normal laptop behaviour

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/Lenovo Vantage), 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 Any outdated instructions telling you to change it on the NVIDIA Control Panel WILL NOT WORK on systems with both modern Windows and modern GPU.

well, as i said in the message, before using that auto-optimization, i used to play with 140 FPS or whatever, even when i wasnt plugged in.
that's why i made this ticket.

#

checked the settings and its all on high-performance. so i dont really know.
