Windows 10: Sudden latency after a windows update

Hello,


I have a long-running issue with my laptop running on windows 10. I'll try to explain things clearly.


Around three years ago, I replaced my old laptop running windows 7 with a new, decent gaming laptop running windows 10. It worked perfectly until about 1 year and a half ago when a forced windows update caused me a lot of trouble. The ethernet and/or wifi adapter started freezing/crashing a lot, I had ungodly latency issues on online games I liked to play the game would run fine for about 30sec then I'd be stuck in a 30sec ping loop. Netflix and Youtube still worked just fine though aside from the adapter crashing from time to time.


At first, I suspected some kind of throttling from my ISP was causing the issues, but when I tried using my old laptop, I had none of those issues. I could log in on those online games with my old laptop and have no lag whatsoever, but it would come right away if I tried using my windows 10 laptop. I tried various things to fix this issue. Reinstalling the games, flushing my DNS, rebooting the adapter, scanning for virus and malwares, disabling windows firewall, doing a fresh windows install, none of it worked.

After some time, the adapter crashes on my new laptop got less frequent and I kinda forgot about it and moved on... Until recently when I realized that those exact same issues still persist despite me living in another country, thus ruling out the ISP theory.


So, does anyone has an idea of what the issue could be? Did that update somehow break my internet adapter? Is there something I should configure? I'm really at my wits' end here and I can only assume that the issue has to do with windows 10 since my connection works perfectly on windows 7.


Thank you in advance.

:)

 

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

 

Windows Updates failed to instal

I'm not sure how differant XP media center Edition is but you could clear the history \ cache if these folders are there.

Step 1 Register DLL files.

=================

By trying this step, we can check if the update engines are working properly.



1. Close all instances of Internet Explorer.

2. Click Start and Run, type "Regsvr32 atl.dll" (without quotes) in the Open box and click OK.



Note: There is a space between regsvr32 and atl.dll



3. Similarly, one by one, register the files listed below:



Regsvr32 msxml3.dll

Regsvr32 wuapi.dll

Regsvr32 wuaueng.dll

Regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll

Regsvr32 wups2.dll

Regsvr32 wucltui.dll

Regsvr32 wups.dll

Regsvr32 wuweb.dll

Regsvr32 qmgr.dll

Regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll

Regsvr32 jscript.dll



Note: If you encounter errors while registering any of these files then skip that file and continue with the next one.



If the issue persists, let's move on to the steps below to verify Windows Update services and temporary folders.



Step 2 Verify the relevant Windows Update services.

=========================================

1. Click Start->Run, type "services.msc" (without quotation marks) in the open box and click OK.

2. Double click the service "Automatic Updates".

3. Click on the Log On tab, please ensure the option "Local System account" is selected and the option "Allow service to interact with desktop" is unchecked.

4. Check if this service has been enabled on the listed Hardware Profile. If not, please click the Enable button to enable it.

5. Click on the tab "General "; make sure the "Startup Type" is "Automatic" or "Manual". Then please click the button "Stop" under "Service Status" to stop the service.

6. Then please click the button "Start" under "Service Status" to start the service.

7. Please repeat the above steps with the other services:



Background Intelligent Transfer Service

Event Log

Remote Procedure Call (RPC)



Note: Event log service is enabled on all of the hardware profiles; this service does not have an option to enable or disable on certain hardware profile.



If it still does not help, let's proceed to step 3.



Step 3 Reload the Update temporary folders.

===================================

One possible cause is that the temporary folder for Windows Update is containing corrupted files. Let's erase all the files there to get the system clean.



1. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following command in the opened window.



Net stop WuAuServ



2. Click Start, Run, type: %windir% and press Enter.

3. In the opened folder, rename the folder SoftwareDistribution to Sdold.

4. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following command in the opened window.



Net start WuAuServ



Please test the Windows Update website and let me know the result. If the issue persists, to clarify the issue and provide more accurate troubleshooting steps, please assist me in collecting the following information.

 

Wdf01000.sys Latency - Windows 10

Hi Bowzin, after two days searching I (think) finally solved it, my highest latency is 0,49ms now. 1) Download Driver Booster 5 and update all drivers, even if you have done this manually at device manager. BIOS, mouse, everything.

2) I followed all steps at Audient web page regarding latency: power plan, HD and SSD properties, etc.

Thats it, I now plan to reduce it even more, but this is a huge step. I made several test while updating drivers and each time it threw a different driver problem with latency above 1,5ms.
