Nvidia GPU utilization too high?

Recently everything went great with my current laptop. Games were always running at 60 fps and the workload (according to Task Manager) of the Intel Graphics GPU is about 30% and at my powerful Nvidia GPU about 60-70%. The values here refer to my laptop in charge mode and not in battery mode. However, yesterday I suddenly had only 30 fps in the same games (game graphics settings as before). When I opened Task Manager, the load of my Intel G. GPU was 0% and my Nvidia was 100%.

Today I tried again and found the following: when I open the game and play in battery mode, I have almost as high fps as before in charging mode (50-60fps) and the load was normal at 30% to 60-70%. But if I now connect my charging cable, the fps go down to 30 and the utilization is at 0% to 100%. When I pull out the charging cable, the values remain at 0% and 100% utilization.

I have already spent a lot in the Nvidia settings, reset the settings, tried different things, but it does not seem to help. My driver from Nvidia is also up to date.

Would be very grateful for answers!

Ps: I very much doubt that the values are important in my case, but probably still one asks: Nvidia GTX 1060 and Intel Core i7

Windows key + R insert the shutdown -r -t 0 make a restart.

Calculator automatically shuts down.

Have tried several times restart. Grad Nvidia driver reinstalled. Does not help anything

Maybe various adware runs in the background which additionally burden the CPU and GPU and additionally hide in game mode… Everything is conceivable nowadays… I'm already aware of adware which operates on the GPU Mining…

otherwise one would have to check by means of software if the Tacktraten and temperatures are normal… If the load high and the performance go down it may be that the Tackt of the GPU is smaller

No, it does not matter. I just found my problem. It was so trivial that I did not even think about it.

My laptop has a manually variable cooling system. I had set my fan to "quiet", which shut down the power. Have again put on "balanced". Everything works again now. Nevertheless, thanks for the effort: -D

Yes that would have been point 2 if the clock rates and temperatures are right… Due to poorer cooling the boost tack of the GPU and thus the performance is also lower:-)

This is not a normal restart.

Back up data Reinstall Windows. Whether that helps no idea.
