RetroArch hz significantly dropped recently

Recently, The RetroArch menu has been running at 15hz instead of the usually 60hz that it ran before. Also, when I noticed that the drop happened, I also noticed that the pop up text has been completely highlighted in white (pictured below). I also noticed that this now affects versions 1.7.8 as well as 1.7.7 and it didn’t before. When I run RetroArch for the first time, the window is completely white for a split second and then it immediately closes. Then I’m able to open it fine. Does anyone know why this might happen?
