When you say you reinstalled the drivers, do you mean both AMD and Nvidia? Because, the AMD GPU driver in your screenshot is very old. Are you using the ones from the Lenovo driver page for your laptop?
If so, use the latest versions directly from AMD (Adrenalin 24.9.1) and Nvidia (GeForce 576.02) instead.

1. Ensure your laptop is in Hybrid mode and not discrete mode in BIOS or Lenovo Vantage.
2. Disconnect your Laptop from the internet.
3. Uninstall the existing AMD drivers completely.
4. Go to device manager and see display adapters. If it shows AMD Radeon Graphics, right click and uninstall drivers (Select the checkbox for "Attempt to remove these driver for this device").
5. Right click and scan for hardware changes. It should show Basic display adapter instead of AMD Radeon.
6. Now try installing the drivers you downloaded from AMD.
7. Reconnect to Internet
This should work. I have a Legion 5 Pro with Ryzen 5800H and RTX 3060. These are the drivers I currently use. I'm on the latest version of Windows 11 (Build 26100.3915).

Shows that the video is using the AMD Radeon iGPU and not the NVIDIA GPU. If the driver update works great, you may want to try setting using the dGPU for everything

Try setting the minimum processor state to 100% under advanced power settings for battery mode and see if that helps.

What caused the issue in the first place? Did Windows update mess the drivers up, or did this happen out of the blue all of a sudden?

He can do this. right-click on the exe and run with the desired gpu. I had this option on my lenevo.

I don't think this could be done before in many laptops since most of them missed the MUX switch to switch between the GPUs. Now many laptops have implemented this and it's a good thing.
