The problem is gone after reinstalling Windows.

Found the culprit. After installing either Steam, or a game from steam, or SageThumbs, I got this setting changed shown on the screenshot below. Be sure
not to have "High Performance NVIDIA" with Rainmeter, in case if such bug happens to you. I will remind, I have:
Code: Select all
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Dell Inspirion 5558
NVIDIA GeForce 920M
Intel Core i5-5200U
