My laptop is stuttering and glitching 1050ti

One of the causes could be the recent driver update, I say this because I’ve made very few changes these past few months. Since then my pc has been cutting my audio and been extremely slow when processing programs that previously would be no problem like OBS and Premiere Pro, maybe a little slow but never brought to a complete halt for several minutes or just ask me to terminate the process. It can’t even open Apex Legends off of steam anymore because it caps at less than 20fps

Has anyone else experienced the same issues or could it be something else? If so, do you have any solutions?
