Windows 10: Windows 10 Stuttering issues (LatencyMon stats included)

So over the past few weeks my computer has slowly but surely gotten worse with these fps drops and stuttering spikes. Whether im gaming or just browsing the internet I it happens so frequently now. I have scattered the internet for answers and have tried many different things. I am hoping someone could offer a detailed solution for me. Here is my LatencyMon results:


CONCLUSION

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Your system appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio and other tasks. You are likely to experience buffer underruns appearing as drop outs, clicks or pops. One or more DPC routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. One problem may be related to power management, disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. Check for BIOS updates.

LatencyMon has been analyzing your system for 0:12:45 (h:mm:ss) on all processors.

SYSTEM INFORMATION

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Computer name: DESKTOP-0CHCMJQ

OS version: Windows 10 , 10.0, version 1903, build: 18362 (x64)

Hardware: ASRock, Z75 Pro3

CPU: GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz

Logical processors: 4

Processor groups: 1

RAM: 8079 MB total





_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

CPU SPEED

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Reported CPU speed: 340 MHz



Note: reported execution times may be calculated based on a fixed reported CPU speed. Disable variable speed settings like Intel Speed Step and AMD Cool N Quiet in the BIOS setup for more accurate results.



WARNING: the CPU speed that was measured is only a fraction of the CPU speed reported. Your CPUs may be throttled back due to variable speed settings and thermal issues. It is suggested that you run a utility which reports your actual CPU frequency and temperature.

MEASURED INTERRUPT TO USER PROCESS LATENCIES

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The interrupt to process latency reflects the measured interval that a usermode process needed to respond to a hardware request from the moment the interrupt service routine started execution. This includes the scheduling and execution of a DPC routine, the signaling of an event and the waking up of a usermode thread from an idle wait state in response to that event.



Highest measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 2513.028891

Average measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 5.928764



Highest measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 2489.492380

Average measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 1.949563





_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

REPORTED ISRs

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Interrupt service routines are routines installed by the OS and device drivers that execute in response to a hardware interrupt signal.



Highest ISR routine execution time (µs): 210.267059

Driver with highest ISR routine execution time: dxgkrnl.sys - DirectX Graphics Kernel, Microsoft Corporation



Highest reported total ISR routine time (%): 0.10370

Driver with highest ISR total time: dxgkrnl.sys - DirectX Graphics Kernel, Microsoft Corporation



Total time spent in ISRs (%) 0.139834



ISR count (execution time <250 µs): 457918

ISR count (execution time 250-500 µs): 0

ISR count (execution time 500-999 µs): 0

ISR count (execution time 1000-1999 µs): 0

ISR count (execution time 2000-3999 µs): 0

ISR count (execution time >=4000 µs): 0





_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

REPORTED DPCs

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

DPC routines are part of the interrupt servicing dispatch mechanism and disable the possibility for a process to utilize the CPU while it is interrupted until the DPC has finished execution.



Highest DPC routine execution time (µs): 2638.269118

Driver with highest DPC routine execution time: storport.sys - Microsoft Storage Port Driver, Microsoft Corporation



Highest reported total DPC routine time (%): 0.071285

Driver with highest DPC total execution time: USBPORT.SYS - USB 1.1 & 2.0 Port Driver, Microsoft Corporation



Total time spent in DPCs (%) 0.342937



DPC count (execution time <250 µs): 1588172

DPC count (execution time 250-500 µs): 0

DPC count (execution time 500-999 µs): 12

DPC count (execution time 1000-1999 µs): 1

DPC count (execution time 2000-3999 µs): 172

DPC count (execution time >=4000 µs): 0





_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

REPORTED HARD PAGEFAULTS

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Hard pagefaults are events that get triggered by making use of virtual memory that is not resident in RAM but backed by a memory mapped file on disk. The process of resolving the hard pagefault requires reading in the memory from disk while the process is interrupted and blocked from execution.



NOTE: some processes were hit by hard pagefaults. If these were programs producing audio, they are likely to interrupt the audio stream resulting in dropouts, clicks and pops. Check the Processes tab to see which programs were hit.



Process with highest pagefault count: chrome.exe



Total number of hard pagefaults 1719

Hard pagefault count of hardest hit process: 407

Number of processes hit: 27

Windows 10 upgrade: Game stutter issue

Hi,

Compatibility issues is one of the possible reasons why you're experiencing stutter issues when playing a game on your Windows 10 device. To help you resolve this concern, we need to gather more details. kindly verify the information below:

• Are you experiencing this issue with all of your games?
• Are you having this issue when you are playing both online and offline games?
• Does this issue occur on both digital and disk games?

In the meantime, we suggest that you follow the troubleshooting steps provided on this

link. This can help us resolve problems you may experience during gameplay on your Windows 10 device.

We're looking forward to your reply.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Windows 10 stuttering.

By using tenforums i've been able to find out what the problem is. And also that there's quite a few people having this issue.

Problem lies with the ndis.sys file which is a network file. This has been confirmed by using latencymon which found that ndis was the culprit. This also confirms that this is a problem with windows 10.

And this issue can besides "stuttering" also be found under windows 10:
Sound crackles, sound pops, stutter during network traffic.
