Windows 10: Nvidia suggests uninstalling latest Windows 10 updates to fix gaming issues

This month’s first mandatory cumulative updates were released in the second week with the promise of fixing problems that had been plaguing many users. However, despite the changelog says there are no critical issues, the list of issues in Windows 10 KB5001330 is growing steadily longer, with Nvidia now looking into the reports.

A lot of users have reported that having installed Windows 10 KB5001330 cumulative update, they have also experienced some bad stuttering and FPS drop when playing games.

“Previously ran Warcraft on a solid 140 FPS, now it’s stuttering occasionally and FPS has dropped to about 90 FPS,” one user wrote in the Feedback Hub. “Call of Duty Cold War and Warzone dropped down to 1 FPS and are completely unplayable. When running other games in fullscreen windowed the performance in Chrome on my secondary monitor is taking a massive hit too,” another user noted.

Others have observed issues with Windows 10’s general performance and various crashes, but Microsoft has yet to acknowledge the reports.

In a forum post, Nvidia employee has now recommended uninstalling the latest Windows Updates if you have gaming issues.

“If you are seeing lower performance in games, check if rolling back Windows 10 Update KB5000842 solves the issue,” Nvidia said.

To be clear, issues were first spotted in Windows 10’s March optional update KB5000842, but the bug appeared to have somehow slipped through the gaps to also appear in KB5001330 (April Patch Tuesday Update), which was pushed to users as a mandatory update this month.

In short, April 2021 Patch Tuesday release seems like an odd update with some pretty wide-ranging problems. Some users have also reported that they cannot access the documents, pictures and other user folders because the operating systems boots with a temporary user profile.

How to fix gaming issues after the update


The only certain cure for the gaming and other issues reported in the cumulative update seems to be rolling back to the older version. Obviously, that’s far from an ideal solution, especially when we consider the important security fixes included in the latest update.

If you’ve performance issues after the latest updates, you’ve two options – uninstall the patch or wait for next month’s update. To uninstall the updates, click the Start button, then click the Settings cog.



Click Update & Security. On the next window, click “View update history,” then “Uninstall updates” in the top-left corner and look for the update in Control Panel that you want to remove.

New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

Heres a couple examples:

Here

Here

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP

Windows 10 Fall Creators Update problems and complaints

• Installation problems with the Fall Creators Update
• Microsoft Edge problems with the Fall Creators Update
• Drivers problems with the Fall Creators Update
• Experience problems with the Fall Creators Update

keep in mind, as of recently, the FCU is installed on 5% of devices roughly.....

 

RX 480 Fan Speed 0% or 100% While Windows 10 Updates are Pending

Yes, I've used the DDU uninstaller before and successfully fixed some graphics driver issues. I think I will go ahead and do that and disable to see what happens.

I'm not sure if that will matter if the conflict is with the Windows 10 updates but certainly worth a try.

I figured since it's an AMD card as well as an MSI card, Afterburner would be the logical choice. Do you suggest another program that might work better for me?

Thanks Again!
