I didn't know where else to post this, but I figured this was the best place. My Dolphin emulator has been slowing down and lagging for no reason for the past week or so. This is offline and online so it isn't a connectivity issue. The game is just really choppy and slow and the music sounds like a horror show.
I have recently switched from Windows 7 to Windows 10, but this has been happing for about a week prior to me downloading Windows 10 and it hasn't seemed to have gotten and better or worse since the switch. I have updated all of my drivers, before and after the OS switch. None of my dolphin settings have been changed. Just one day it decided to become so laggy it's unplayable. If I pause the game, I can move the camera around no problem and the lagg stops, but as soon as I unpause it goes back to being a choppy mess. Also most of the lag is at the beginning of the match. It gets slightly better as the match goes on but it still isn't very playable. I am honestly very confused. The only option I can think of is that it's a hardware problem but my computer is only 7 months old and it's been cleaned.
I've also run full Malwarebytes, AVG, and Windows Defender scans.
