i have most of my games on my m.2, they have been running fine up until today now all of a sudden its like the frames drop in game but its showing that my frames are normal but when i bring up another window and i have the game running in the background it runs properly at 30 fps which is what i set the background frames to and now i cant login to steam either. has anyone any help as i have no idea how to fix any of this? I am running an AMD ryzen 3600, an Radeon RX 580, my m.2 is a Corsair mp510 480gb, my motherboard is an ASUS Prime B450M-a.

to add to what's already been said, plus I reckon I'm even less of a gamer than Rusty - as in zero.
but...

I'd be attacking it for starters from a system maintenance angle.
do a TRIM on the m.2 drive - File Explorer > right click drive > Tools > Optimise.
get CCleaner (that link is for version 40, the last good one before they screwed it up) or Glary Disk Cleaner and clean out your system of junk, temp file, cache etc.
do a manual Windows Update.
disable Restore Points.
move the paging file off the m.2 drive.
 
Ive not tried amy of that, but it doesnt do it on videos only 2 of the games i own and it only started after the valorant update. Ill give that a go next time im on my pc
