Windows 10: Problem with Windows 1809 update! Desktop composition and R6S!

I really need some serious support, I don't know what to do. So I have been at Windows 10 1803 for a while, don't really know why, it just seemed like a good version to me, but in reality it had quite some problems, even with a clean install. Anyway, I downloaded a Windows 1809 ISO from TechBench by WZT (v4.1.1), decided to update 1803 to 1809 and then update 1809 on my own to the latest compilation with the MS Update catalog.

So after the update the system was quite a lot faster, snappier, SSD and HDD benchmarks increased around 20 MB/s (so I am getting better system I/O) and in general, seems to be ok. But I have some odd issues. First of all, a baseline: I reinstalled the nVidia driver and used DDU to be sure there are no problems, but still the issue persists, this may be a bit technical, so please bear with me: I set my monitor to 75 Hz using NVCP to play R6S, I like to use Borderless full screen on that game because I want a 75 Hz refresh rate; at Fullscreen it goes back to 60 Hz, but that isn't my problem: My problem is that Windows 1809 seems to have the DWM damaged or something.

I always measure frametimes with RivaTuner, on Widows 1803 at R6S (or any other game) the frametimes were perfect at [email protected] ms at Borderless, rock solid, never moving, without me needing to use any framerate limiter. On Windows 1809, this isn't the case anymore and the frametimes are just worse on Borderless, fluctuating from 13.1 ms to 13.5 ms, I have no idea why. I have ran sfc /scannow twice and it reports no corrupt Windows files, somehow seems DWM is damaged and I have no idea if updating from 1803 could have messed up something.

My final resource is to clean install Windows 1809, but that's a LONG process, I would have to set every single thing up again, then updating it, checking stuff, re-configuring and reinstalling every single program, oh god, big chore... And I have no idea if it would solve my problem, I wanna keep 1809, the system is better with this version, but the DWM seems to be "damaged" and I have no idea how to fix this, I have tried different stuff to no avail. I can rollback to 1803, but I still want to troubleshoot these issues I am having.

Yes, yes, I know I could play on Fullscreen or just use RTSS to limit the framerate to get good frametimes; but the thing is that I didn't need to do that before, so it means something is messed up.

Nvidia driver is 441.87 right now.

Please help!

microsoft composit battery

Hello,

The Microsoft Composite Battery Driver doesn't affect the charging of the battery. Hardware Charging Circuit controls the charging function of the battery, it's a part of the motherboard installed in the laptop.

Microsoft Composite Battery Driver reports the information that it receives from the charging circuit. This information is displayed in the Battery Meter GUI that is located in the Desktop / Notification Area.

If you're able to see the Battery icon in the lower-right section of the task bar, that means your Microsoft Composite Battery Driver is working. We recommend that you run a check of the battery condition. Follow the steps below:

• Press Winkey+X and click the
  Command Prompt (Admin).
  
• In the command prompt window, type or copy/paste the following commands. (Note the spaces in the commands)

cd
%userprofile%\desktop> PressENTER>powercfg
-energy -output energyreport.html> Press
ENTER.

Note: Wait until the command completes (usually about 2 minutes).
This will create a file named
energyreport.html and place it on your
Desktop.

3. Open the file in your desktop> Scroll down to the
Battery: Battery Information section.

You will see:

Design Capacity xxxxx

Last Full Charge xxxxx

(Where xxxxx is a number)

Copy this section and paste it in a reply here, for analysis.

If you are getting a message: Plugged in, not charging, follow the steps below:

• Turn off the computer > Remove everything that's connected to your computer.
  
• Remove the battery > After 30 Seconds. Press and hold the Power Button on the laptop for 15 seconds.
  
• Plug everything back into the computer.
• Turn on the computer and check the results to see if the problem is resolved.

Keep us posted with the result.

 

AMD R6 Graphics (Primary) Not Working After Windows 10 1903 update

I have a laptop with AMD A10-7300 with R6 graphics.

The graphics "AMD Radeon R6 Graphics" is not working after the Windows 10 1903 update.

The error message that I get is "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)".

The device works perfectly well in Windows 10 1809 and all previous windows 10 builds.

It doesn't create any issues when I rolled back the Windows 10 1903 update to Windows 10 1809.

When I scan for hardware changes in Device manager or if I try to install AMD Display drivers, the display goes black except the cursor.

Also tired clean installing windows 10 1903 using the ISO files but the same issue persists.

 

AMD R6 Graphics (Primary) Not Working After Windows 10 1903 update

Thanks for your quick reply.

I found the solution for this problem by trying various combinations.

The steps that I followed were:

1. Install Windows 10 1903 via the update assistant.
2. Windows will alert that no drivers are installed for the AMD device on completion of installation of Windows 10 1903.
3. Go to Device Manager
4. Uninstall the device(For my case the R6 graphics, that had error code 43).
5. Do not scan for hardware changes.
6. Install AMD display driver (19.7.1 is the one I installed)

Note: The display remained black for 8minutes, in my case, while installing the AMD driver.

Done.
