Hello, when i installed Windows 11 i have some problems with high DPC latency. I tried many solutions in Google, but nothing helped. I enclose raport of Latency Mon. I have a lot of interrupts in the system and sound. Anyone help me solve the problem?

Things I've tried:
-Updated to Latest BIOS
-Chosen High Performance at Power Options
-All drivers are updated to latest version

My computer specs:
i3-8100
Sapphire RX 580 Nitro 8 GB
8 GB RAM Ballistix
MSI H310M PRO-VDH
SanDisk SSD PLUS 480 GB

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 problem may be related to power management, disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. Check for BIOS updates.

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): 2059.70
Average measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 22.837068

Highest measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 2034.40
Average measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 4.367022


_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
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): 60.661667
Driver with highest ISR routine execution time: ndis.sys - Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS), Microsoft Corporation

Highest reported total ISR routine time (%): 0.008375
Driver with highest ISR total time: Wdf01000.sys - Kernel Mode Driver Framework Runtime, Microsoft Corporation

Total time spent in ISRs (%) 0.013132

ISR count (execution time <250 µs): 98387
ISR count (execution time 250-500 µs): 0

ISR count (execution time 2000-4000 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): 234.069444
Driver with highest DPC routine execution time: ndis.sys - Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS), Microsoft Corporation

Highest reported total DPC routine time (%): 0.351057
Driver with highest DPC total execution time: dxgkrnl.sys - DirectX Graphics Kernel, Microsoft Corporation

Total time spent in DPCs (%) 0.583661

DPC count (execution time 1000-2000 µs): 0

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: officeclicktorun.exe

Total number of hard pagefaults 5747
Hard pagefault count of hardest hit process: 1955
Number of processes hit: 83

Although 8th gen i3 CPU meets Windows 11 standards, MS is still in the shaking out process and it isn't ready for prime time. I would not recommend 11 on a computer that must perform important functions at this time.
 
@Zawik - out of curiosity, did you end up downgrading to Windows 10? Or are you still running Windows 11 with issues?

LatencyMon did flag to check for any BIOS updates - there was a BIOS update for your motherboard in April that you might not have. It doesn't list anything Windows 11 specific in the change logs, but it's worth checking all your core drivers and BIOS are up to date.

I'd also flag that you were running a Windows Insider preview build (specifically a Dev channel build at the time - 22458) of Windows 11, not the "finished product". You should expect to see more frequent issues with any pre-release build, especially the Dev channel builds as these are released with known issues, and most likely the DPC Latency issues are an early bug with the preview build.
