Inactive-A Experiencing FPS drops in all games - Restarting has been only fix

[entik]

Computer is running fine.

One of the programs (I believe it was ComboFix.exe) created a bunch of folders on my drivers called: Boot, MSOCache, Recovery, etc. Are these folders necessary?

OTL Cleanup should have removed all Combofix items.

You may be seeing some legit hidden folders.

Open Windows Explorer. Go Tools>Folder Options>View tab, remove checkmark next to Show hidden files, and folders, checkmark Hide protected operating system files.
Press F5 to refresh Windows Explorer view.

I followed those intructions and the option was already checked off. I tried enabling and disabling it also. If they are still visible, would you say it's safe to just delete them.

the option was already checked off

Which one? One options has to be checkmarked and the other one UN-checked.
Re-read my previous reply.

Right. So I have had the option to show "hidden, files, folders and drives" for the last 3 OS's I have installed.

Showing hidden, files, and folders is checked on. Because I want it on and I did so when I installed Windows.

"Hide preotected operating system files" is also checked on, and was checked on before I read your previous message.
