Hi, and thanks in advance for the help!
So lately I've been having a weird issue which I suppose is driver related. Since a recent and relatively big windows 10 update some things seem to be messing with basically anything gpu related. After a while of leaving on the pc it seems like the drivers stop responding like they should. At first everythings is normal, but after a while everything video related starts to work really slow, vlc video playback is sluggish (as in 1 frame every couple of seconds sluggish, while audio playback still works fine), games don't load properly and get stuck in the splash screens etc...
Restarting the pc seems to fix the issue temporarily but it always comes back sooner or later and is really starting to annoy me. Have already tried clean reinstalling my gpu driver but it doesn't seem to solve the problem either and temps are fine too... Any idea what it can be?

My specs:
i5 4690k
MSI gtx 970
16 gb ram ddr3 2133 mhz
SO is Windows 10 professional, installed on a Crucial ssd.

UPDATE: For future reference apparently it was a geforce experience error, uninstalling the program solved the issue.

Need to check. From what I've looked at everything seems normal as far as temps and gpu/cpu usage goes. Regarding not doing anything, might be, I'll check that. Guess I'll also do a malware scan just in case.
Thanks for your answers! Will update if something of that helps.

Edit: Btw, not sure if it's worth mentioning but nvidia shadowplay seems to be unable to record since the update.

Seems like none of the suggestions work... I've noticed something new when checking the task manager, when the error happens there's a couple of background processes called "Nvidia Container" that I think usually aren't there. Also it seems like it doesn't happen while playing rather than after I stop the game or task I've at hand.
