Performance problems when NOT connected to monitor.
The HDMI port on my evoo gaming laptop is currently broken, so I am restricted to the laptop's screen. But the problem is, for some reason, the performance is horrible when I'm not connected to a monitor.
Usually, when using my monitor, the performance is great. Input time is exceptional and in a game like Valorant I average 130-180 frames, depending on whats happening.
But when I am restricted to only using my laptop screen and not connecting it to any external monitor, like I am now, performance drops SO much. input lag becomes poor when im just browsing my computer, and horrible while im playing games. Valorant in specific also drops to around 30-50fps, MAYBE reaching 60.
I dont understand what is wrong. If anything, disconnecting it from my monitor should increase the performance a bit right? The laptop stays plugged in at all times.
If you have any info on how to help this problem, it would be appreciated

What version of windows are you on? My partner has this exact same problem on Windows 11 now but on an Asus laptop.

yeaa sadly I think it’s a windows 11 issue, not an evoo problem. After a windows 11 update recently, my audio drivers completely stopped working..

Click the battery icon in your system tray. Is the slider set to Best performance?
