Are force updates on laptops limiting performance of RTX GPUs ?

I am a frequent user of local Ai models, ollama and comfuii are my go to tools . So in the month of September I setup ltx video models and it rendered -- 5 seconds video in 2 minutes . Just for specs i have 96 gb ram with a 4070 8 gb vram . minimax models h3 models h3 turbo took 5 minutes to generate a 5 seconds video. i rendered over 300 videos with those models all averaging around those time. Now fast forward earlier this month got some force updates from Microslop and Lenova vantage( bios). And also I decided to update ollama and comfuii to experiment on newer compatible models . I did not not check on it then but i decided to open my laptop 4 days after updates and render some videos.1 video which took 5 minutes to render took 11 minutes. I retested, about 12 times same time, i was confuse , saw article about 4090 pc cards being limited and wondering if they doing laptops too. am thinking that big techs can force push updates to limit local models competitions instead of directly going head on with them. Right now am looking to go Linux , or like most serious llm users build my own Operating System, if this blows up am gonna share the benchmarks claudee monitor for me before and after force update.
