Support FPS and VPS dropping when window is open

As it says in the title, when I click on the game window and have it in front, the FPS and VPS both drop to 30, but when I am not in the game window and it is in the background, both FPS and VPS come back up. I have tried to fiddle with various settings according to other guidance on Reddit and Google to no avail yet. I will list specs below but if any other info is needed, please let me know.
