I just benchmarked my GPU, and it's showing that I'm in the 0th percentile. I'm starting to wonder if my laptop's GPU might be getting hijacked for crypto mining or something. I've linked the full benchmark report here: [User Benchmark Report](https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/72949733). Also, I check Task Manager regularly, and it doesn't show any GPU usage, which makes me even more confused about the mining theory. Any advice?

Just a heads up, a lot of folks say UserBenchmark isn't reliable for assessing performance. It's often criticized for being biased. Have you tried running a proper benchmark or playing a game? How does it perform there? It shouldn't feel like a 10-year-old laptop!
First off, make sure your GPU drivers are up to date—sometimes that can really affect performance. Try running a clean benchmark after that. Also, close unnecessary tasks in the Task Manager before you test again. If nothing improves, a fresh Windows install might help as a last resort, but back up your files first!
Yeah, exactly! If it feels that slow, something's definitely off. You might wanna dig into it further.
