Windows 10: High latency caused by dxgkrnl.sys in Windows 10

Hi! Recently, I have problems with Windows 10.

A driver called dxgkrnl.sys causes a large DPC latency, which is why I get video and audio stutters for about 500 ms. I searched everywhere for the definitive fix for the latency, but found nothing.

Is there a way to fix this? Seriously, I bought a new PC, and I still have problems with stutters while playing games. All my drivers are updated, I have no viruses, Windows 10 was installed 2 months ago, I did not download any bad software. Please give me a solution that works. What do I need to do to have this isue solved once and for all?

:)

 

Wdf01000.sys Latency - Windows 10

Hi,

Wdf01000.sys is a Microsoft driver file. The wdf01000.sys
process should not be deleted or prevented from loading each time Windows loads.

We would like to know more about your wdf01000.sys and latency concern:

• Were you getting errors with wdf01000.sys? If yes, Can you send us a screenshot?
• Which program or application were you using in audio recording?
• What equipment or devices were connected to your PC when you were recording audio?

In the meantime, check out this article for tips on how to improve
PC performance.

Looking forward to your response.

 

Do I have latency problems?





- there's my laptop for comparison- not specially brilliant spec. (see below)

I only found wdf01000.sys in WinSxS - not an active driver in my case.

See analysis here:
Wdf01000.sys Causing high DPC Latency - but how can I know what driver is the problem
- uses XPERF to create a trace.

DPC Latency with Storport.sys and Wdf0 1000.sys


Sorry when I went to post it looked much better than it does there.... So I can see how that wasn't the greatest piece to look at.

Here is the screenshot you requested.








Power Plan Settings: High Performance
Turn off disk after: 20min
Sleep/Hibernate: Never
USB Selective Suspend Setting: Enabled
PCI Express Link State Power Management: Off

Processor Power Management

• Maximum Processor Frequency: 0MHz
• Minimum Processor State: 100%
• System Cooling Policy: Active
• Maximum Processor State: 100%

I believe the Power settings are mostly the generic High Performance. If I changed anything it was the sleep function as I often access this computer when I'm at home.

As for staying with my old computer. I agree, I definitely could have, but it had been 3 years since I last built that system so I figured it was time to step it up. I also use the Creative Cloud often and my system could use a boost in speed. Plus the old components are now in a second tower and being used for offloading things to free up this computer for recording (such as rendering video, etc).

I plan to add 32GB more to the RAM over the next two months and a new 1080ti video card. Someone also told me adding an internal Soundcard might help as well, although I don't see what it has to do with this latency issue.

Thanks again,

Brad
