All programs stopped using GPU acceleration

When using LibreOffice this weekend I noticed typing would stutter and my CPU usage would spike whenever text moved onto a new line. I fixed this by toggling GPU acceleration in the options. However, I was using DraftSight (open source CAD program) which uses a virtual cursor and whenever I moved the cursor it would stutter (along with doing literally anything else so the program was unusable). Same thing when I tried InkScape today. I last used DraftSight and InkScape a month or 2 ago but being a uni student I used LibreOffice 2 weekends ago and it was fine. I've started testing every program I can think of that renders things and sure enough, CPU usage spikes when using them and they stutter (even moving the tabs in Clover). I didn't install any drivers or update Windows between the weekends. Games are completely fine. I'm using Windows 7, my CPU is a 4770K and graphics card is a 780Ti. I have tried Googling but all I end up with are generic guides on enabling GPU acceleration, but it already is enabled. Its just that everything has stopped using it and most of my programs don't have an option to enable it like LibreOffice.

Please help me use my computer again the stutter is killing my soul.
