Windows 10: Lag spikes / glitches affecting performance

Probably, I don't know. Someone from GOG.com said that I am using microsoft compatibility drivers and that Intel hasn't released a proper driver for my chipset for Windows 10.

 

Wow, if intel have't released any drivers for their chipset for Win10 I would be very surprised. Where did you see this info?

 

GOG.com support told me by email, but Intel also told me on their forums that this chipset is not supported in Windows 10, even though it seems to work.

Also, it seems quite impossible that my harddisk trouble (low transfer speeds) could ever be related to a display driver.

Maybe, then, the entire chipset is not well supported. Could be. It is starting to look like I need to go back to Windows 7 or 8, which I would detest. Windows 7 would not be so bad but I kinda like Windows 10. Windows 8 is okay and horrible at the same time. And Windows 7 has a windows update issue; the ISO I have tried (regular Microsoft ISO) just won't work.

I must say I have had a malware infestation on this computer this point (I was kinda stupid). I cleared everything out myself but haven't successfully run any malware program yet -- apart from Windows Defender. I can see no remaining processes that are suspicious. It also didn't do anything except install stuff and introduce CHINESE to my computer ;-). But I cannot be sure of course.

But I rather doubt it could ever have anything to do with it. [[ There are two suspicious connections though to a remote Google address to port 443. fra02s21-in-f6.1e100.net and wn-in-f95.1e100.net from an "unkown" process. If I fill it in it just links to Google though. ]]

Then you might think that the HP chipset is not installed/supported but there is a host of HP processes running in this system that were automatically installed by Windows (Update).

 

I didn't read which chipset you have Dryden?

 

Well, me neither. I'll get back later ^^.

 

Chipset is Intel GS45. The weird thing is that I had no trouble whatsoever until perhaps the malware or more clearly when I started playing GOG Dosbox games. I also wasn't really doing large file transfers or anything like that. But it kinda mirrors thet weirdness in Windows 7 so maybe it is a hardware issue. Linux has no trouble with it however. There were two bad clusters on the HDD, fixed now. Still need to check C drive. I believe it is possible to reinstall Windows 10 in place? I don't know what else. I can ask around in the HP owner's lounge for this laptop on notebookreview.com.

 

Disable updates by changing your network system to one with a metered connection.

 

Dear Beardo and Dryden i've the same problem with a clean install for windows 10. The issue always happen when reproducing audio/video files; VLC, youtube, mpc-hc are the apps involved. Recently i'm testing with MPC-HC because with ctrl+j, i can "see" the stutter. For information it happends two times in the last two days after 41minutes in reproducing a video with mpc-hc, first video was a mkv with hw acceleration enable, the second one was an avi with no hw acceleration.
My HTPC is the following

Asrock N3700-ITX
8gb of ram
Intel HD Graphics
Realtek Ethernet, and Audio devices.
Samsung SSD 850 evo
Panasonic Bluray
External sasmung disk for p2p

Obv, all my drivers, programs and windows files are updated and not corrupted.

Please advise in case you solve the problem, i will do the same.

 

What does this mean?

 

I'm experiencing the same issues as OP. Explanation is to "disable updates changing network system to one with a metered connection" which doesn't say much to me. What do I do where to fix the spikes?

The entire system is affected regardless if I'm in Windows Explorer or playing a game in 3D, the stutter is like .2 seconds and gives stutter to sound as well, a very weird sound. Like the one in the video one page back or OP youtube clip.

 

Might try image your hard drive first . Macrium Reflect. Or use another drive. To do a clean install. Create latest iso with Windows media creation. Disconnect all hardware down to basics. mouse, keyboard, 1 drive. Disconnect any odd hardware. Only have display card plugged in. Disconnect all other USB devices. Update to newest motherboard bios or SSD drive firmware. Test hard drive with manufacture test program for example Western Digital Life Guard diagnostics. Do not over clock.

Now do a clean install.
