FPS drop after installing windows 10 version 1607 x64-based systems

I'm having some issues with fps.. I just updated my windows 10 to the latest version 1607 this morning. Before the update all my games used to run on a range from 90fps to 120fps, but since the update all my games fps have dropped to 60 and seem to be locked there. The weird thing is that when I open the game it starts running on the normal range of 90-120 but it instantly drops to 60 and stays there. I'm using a NVIDIA GEOFORCE GTX 960M that is up to date (checked this morning) and the V-SYNC option on the NVIDIA control panel is turned off as well as the in-game v-sync option.  Please help me with this problem.

Laptop details:

ASUS-GL552V

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz

8.00 GB RAM

Resolution: 1920 x 1080, 60Hz

NVIDIA GEOFORCE GTX 960M version 368.81

Operating system: Microsoft windows 10 home

Hey, 

This is all because of the Xbox app in Windows 10. There is an option in the app which records the game clips and is responsible for the FPS drop after Windows 10 anniversary update (1607).

Just open Xbox app -> Settings -> Game DVR -> Record Games (Turn it off) and Enjoy.

Here is a video tutorial too :)
