Valorant causes Windows 11 to lag?

So I recently updated Valorant after not playing it for a while, and now it's making my PC super laggy. The game itself lags really bad, frame rate drops from 200 to 30 and it keeps freezing. When I try to alt-tab to desktop, even Windows starts lagging. I have to fully exit the game to get things back to normal. I tried other games like GTA V Online, did a quick diamond casino heist, no issue at all, Roblx, and MC with shaders, and they all run perfectly fine only Valorant is acting up like this. This never happened before the update. Anyone else experiencing this?
Specs:
Windows 11
i3 8100
GTX 1050 2GB
8GB RAM (4x2)
128GB Samsung M.2 SSD (OS)
512GB Samsung M.2 SSD (where Valorant and other games are installed)
