Immense lag / parallax on laptop (photoshop, youtube etc.)

Hello Blur Busters users!

I've been searching for a solution to a problem I've had recently. A few weeks ago I gave my laptop a reboot and defragmented it. Since then it's been working fine with one exception; the screen lags / parallaxes so much. Even when typing this sentence it takes a while to finish my words.

I notice it especially in Photoshop and Youtube. On youtube the video stops for a second while the video sound continues, like it needs to process the screen for a bit, this happens all throughout watching the videos. For Photoshop CTRL+Z or drawing real fast is a killer, it freezes everything and takes a while to load what I've just drawn or the commands I just hit.

I work on a Lenovo Ideapad 310 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70GHz, 2901 MHz,
Windows 10
16 GB of RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 920MX and Intel(R) HD Graphics 620 are both installed

Please, I really need someones assistance because as an animator, this really blocks my workflow.
