The Rog Ally Windows Update is causing a problem

The recent Rog Ally Window update has caused many problems for the Rog Ally fan base. The recent Windows update has some gaming issues for AMD users. While the update was to fix other issues with Windows 11, it has dropped the FPS for Rog Ally users. Players from Reddit report that after updating Windows, their game would stutter even while having an FPS of 60.

Users commenting on the Reddit report all have the same issue with the recent Windows 11 update kb5035853. The update is causing major stutters in-game performances. 

One Rog Ally player talked about how bad Baldur's Gate 3 performance has become Stating.

"I’m experiencing some bad performance on Baldur’s Gate 3. Even playing everything on Low, 900p, and 20W, it doesn’t go any higher than 40fps and suddenly drops down to less than 20fps, with lots of stuttering. When it happens, I always notice the GPU with 800mHz (I'm not sure about the unit here). Since I've owned it for only a couple of weeks, I'm not sure if it’s related to the update or not." - link to the direct Reddit report https://www.reddit.com/r/ROGAlly/comments/1bf1aya/if_your_ally_is_suddenly_stuttering_even_in_apps/?sort=new
