Wdf01000.sys is causing high DPC Latency issues. I ran the test found in this thread: https://www.sysnative.com/forums/wi...c-latency-issues-wpa-windows-vista-7-8-a.html and it seems that Wdf01000.sys is causing the problem.

My question is how do I remove it?

I researched it a bit on Google and I'm getting mixed opinions on what the actual culprit might be

I tried going into System\Drivers directly and deleting the file itself, but my pc wouldn't let me do it. I just know that it is a driver.

Should I disable every single device in 'Device Manager' one-by-one and see which one is causing the DPC spike? How do I know which devices to disable? I don't want to potentially harm my system.

EDIT: Just took a look at the Driver Reference Table and found out that Wdf01000.sys is '[FONT=&quot]WDF Dynamic - Kernel Mode Driver Framework Runtime'[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]WDF Dynamic - Kernel Mode Driver Framework Runtime[/FONT]

[TD="class: small"]WDF Dynamic - Kernel Mode Driver Framework Runtime

The "WDF" in WDF01000.sys is indeed the "Windows Driver Framework", and given that your top hitters are the directx kernel-mode driver and time spent in the kernel itself, it would seem fairly obvious your problem is with your video drivers. You want to fix that, not remove Windows components. WDF01000.sys is just the representation of drivers running inside of it - it's not the culprit, it's the victim.
 
I see. thank you for the help. I downgraded my Nvidia driver from the newest one to an older one but i'm still getting high DPC. How would you suggest fixing this problem?
 
What do you have attached to the machine that would also be in use when the video card is active (playing games, audio, etc.)? DirectX accelerates more than video, and so it could be one of the other devices with kernel-mode drivers too (network or audio, for instance). For example, ndis.sys is 4th in the list, which would indicate network activity at a decent rate at the time of the issue. Using Killer wireless maybe? Or certain wireless cards? Without your system specs from the ETL I have to take a shot in the dark here, but I'd wager your problem is network-related, not video.
