So, I had to force shutdown my PC because a game froze and I couldn't do anything else. After rebooting, I noticed that my app scaling changed from 125% to 150%. Now, every game I try to play lags, even though the performance stats look fine. I attempted to run 'sfc /scannow' and it found some corrupted files, but restarting didn't help at all. Any ideas on how to fix this?

This lag issue seems to specifically happen when you're gaming but everything else works fine, right? That makes me think it's not a hardware issue. You might want to try running a command in CMD: 'dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth'. This could help with any Windows-related issues affecting game performance.
It sounds like the forced shutdown might have messed up your GPU driver. I'd recommend downloading a fresh version of the driver or reverting to a previous one that worked for you. Here’s a guide on how to properly uninstall and reinstall drivers: [Display Driver Uninstaller Guide](https://www.wagnardsoft.com/content/how-use-display-driver-uninstaller-ddu-guide-tutorial) .
What exactly does that command do?
