All me games are suddenly running worse.

Recently games that I used to run at 60 fps are now capping at 30 and then going under. I lowered graphics setting to mostly find worse results. I have been verifying files with steam and clearing older programs to try to fix my issue as well. These issues also started around the newest windows update.My only thought now is that my gpu isnt being detected by games as the frame cap is something I find when my gpu is not recognized.

Start by opening your task manager and expand it, see how your computer process. The latest Windows 10 (1803) update did cause several people a lot of grief, mainly excessive CPU usage.

Now games usually don't detect graphics cards, that's the computer's duty. If none of your games are running on your graphics card then it is your computer that doesn't detect the card, or the drivers for it, thus it tries to accommodate by using the integrated graphics.

Reinstall GPU drivers. If that doesn't help Use DDU to wipe GPU drivers then reinstall them again.

If that doesn't work and you haven't left it too late try unistalling 1803 update.
Windows key + S > type without quotes and click 'recovery options' > should be 3 options. One of which will guide you through removing 1803.

If rolling back works. As it did for me keep it as is and try updating later. I will do a fresh windows 10 install when I can be bothered. For now going back to 1709 was the only thing that worked for me.

That may be it , I have around 40 percent cpu usage with just steam, discord, and steam open.
