  • Write a brief description of your problem.
    You can also include the steps you tried.

    I've been experiencing audio stuttering since I've had this PC (7 months). It gets worse after after network usage (e.g. downloading large files, steaming via UPnP). Once it starts, web browsing while playing audio will cause stutters while the network is in use. LatencyMon indicates issues with HDAudBus.sys, ndis.sys and Wdf01000.sys (log included in Dropbox link above); sometimes it indicates tcip.sys too. The same problem occurred on my old PC after upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 – the new PC has been on Windows 10 from the start. I think I've tried just about every suggestion I could find to fix it, except for a complete clean install of Windows. I have just done a repair install of Windows, updated the BIOS and updated all drivers, but the problem is still there and as annoying as ever. I'm therefore ready for any help you can offer, although I see that a lot of people seem to be suffering from the same issue without a resolution.
