Windows 10: Windows 10 KB4482887 is reportedly causing gaming performance issues

On March 1, 2019, Microsoft began pushing out Windows 10 KB4482887 to October 2018 Update machines. This cumulative update advances the system to Windows 10 Build 17763.348 and it comes with tons of improvements, including support for Retpoline which will eventually improve the performance of Spectre patched PCs.

The update has also fixed bugs associated with Action Center, Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer and other core components. As per reports on social media platforms, Microsoft’s most recent Windows 10 update appears to be causing considerable grief for gamers.

After installing this update, some folks have hit gaming issues when playing certain games such as Destiny 2. A post on Reddit notes that games such as Destiny 2 may launch with unbearable performance issues. For instance, there’ll be noticable lags when playing Destiny 2 on PCs with certain GPUs after installing the update.

There is another bug where FPS has drastically reduced on high-end PCs.

“I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why Destiny 2 suddenly dropped 40 frames,” a user noted in a Reddit discussion.

“I also had this issue, where when I moved my mouse I saw a loss from 60 fps to about 35 and the game began to fall behind and my audio quality distorted another fix is to resort to a controller, which I know us PC master race people groan and moan about that but it did fix my instance, hope it can help someone else,” another user noted.

Another thread on Reddit details the bug. As per a user, the performance suffered and they noticed massive stuttering, huge mouse input lag after installing this Windows update.



It’s worth noting that users have also documented the bug on Feedback Hub, Twitter and as well as other forums.

Microsoft responds


In a Reddit post, Microsoft’s Windows Kernal engineer noted that this bug is not related to Retpoline and he recommends users to report the bug on Feedback Hub.

It appears that you can simply uninstall Windows 10 KB4482887 to fix the issue and delay the updates until a hotfix comes out.

Performance issues during gaming in Windows 10

Hello Cody,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

To be able to understand the issue better, let us know the relevant error messages which can help us to ascertain the cause of the issue. Also, what is the make and model of the computer you are using?

Now, here a few important points that can help you.

• PC games will generally have two sets of system requirements, the ‘minimum’ and the ‘recommended’. So it again depends on the game and how much PC resource it needs to run at optimal performance.
  
• Next, certain performance tweaking/monitoring programs may seem to help, but it is only as good as a separate program running in the background. Few third party antivirus/firewall programs may also cause such issues.
  
• Apart from the dedicated graphics, a lot of other considerations are also there to make. Few of them are:
  
  CPU performance
  
  Hard Disk- SSDs are known to perform better in terms of read/write operations
  
  RAM memory and speed
  
  Sound Card
  
  So, it is not possible to give proper benchmark in terms of gaming
  using any particular hardware aspect.

As an initial recommendation, I suggest you to place the computers in a Clean Boot state and run the game.

It helps to identify if there are any third party application/software to be causing the issue.

A clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program.

How to perform a clean boot in Windows
