Re: How to Diagnose and Fix High DPC Latency Issues with WPA (Windows Vista/7/8)
Hmm..
Thanks for the file. I will look at that when I get a free moment. Although I'm not sure when that'll be, because I am busy with school work and revision atm.
Regarding DPC Latency Checker, no, it is not Windows 8 compatible.

Re: How to Diagnose and Fix High DPC Latency Issues with WPA (Windows Vista/7/8)
For those experiencing issues with Windows 8.1 and this tutorial...
Please install this version of the Windows ADK - Download Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) for Windows 8.1 from Official Microsoft Download Centre, instead of the one given in the tutorial.
And perform the remaining steps in the tutorial again.

Re: How to Diagnose and Fix High DPC Latency Issues with WPA (Windows Vista/7/8)
well i finally got around to installing the the newer assessment and deployment kit. But i get this error:
C:\Users\Admin\Desktop>xperf %userprofile%\Desktop\trace.etl
xperf: error: C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\trace.etl: The parameter is incorrect. (0x80070057).

Usage: xperf options ...
xperf -help start for logger start options
xperf -help providers for known tracing flags
xperf -help stackwalk for stack walking options
xperf -help stop for logger stop options

Re: How to Diagnose and Fix High DPC Latency Issues with WPA (Windows Vista/7/8)
well, i found windows performance analyzer and opened the etl file. but there is no dpc latency cpu table. so i went to the 'computation' graph in the left hand column and double clicked to get a big view. in the top blue bar on the right edge are 4 icons one of which says 'display table only' when you hover over it. selecting this gives the table. now the highest count is held by a process named idle, then crss.exe followed by steam.exe then explorer.exe. if i look at the column titled 'ready(us) sum' the highest three are 'system, explorer, and steam'. The highest three for 'ready (us) max' are 'egui (part of nod32 antivirus), dtlite(part of daemon tools) , and vds.exe. right clicking on a column name gives many more parameters that i can examine but i do not know what they mean. So how do i interpret this data? Which parameter is most useful in figuring out if my latency is being damaged by a particular process?

Re: How to Diagnose and Fix High DPC Latency Issues with WPA (Windows Vista/7/8)
C:\Users\aDMIN\Desktop>xperfview %userprofile%\Desktop\trace.etl
'xperfview' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
BUT WPA WORKS
C:\Users\Admin\Desktop>WPA %userprofile%\Desktop\trace.etl
for windows performance analyzer
still need more insight into what to look for

Re: How to Diagnose and Fix High DPC Latency Issues with WPA (Windows Vista/7/8)
Naviagte to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Windows Performance Toolkit\
or
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Windows Performance Toolkit
(not sure which one it will be)
And see if there's a file called xperfview.exe
Sorry I can't be more help atm, I don't use Windows 8 or 8.1 - I'm still running Windows 7 here!

Re: How to Diagnose and Fix High DPC Latency Issues with WPA (Windows Vista/7/8)
Unfortunately, since 8.1 kit (6.3.9600) xperfview is not available any more
But you can use the WPA, which covers most of the functionality available in xperfview :)

Make sure you start cmd.exe (command prompt) using "Run As Administrator". I had the same issue with running xperf.

Re: How to Diagnose and Fix High DPC Latency Issues with WPA (Windows Vista/7/8)
Hi,
i followed Niemiros tutorial and the process that seems to cause the problem seems to be "ntoskrnl.exe" i'm runnig on a Gigabyte p35-de3r mainboard with a gforce 8800gtx and win7 home prem. I had no problems of this type with my previous installation. I ran Latencymon everytime after installing win7 clean, with chipset drivers, with nvidia driver and after doing the 100 updates. From the very beginning till now Latency mon and DPC Latency are showing that "ntoskrnl" is having a high latency and couses the sound to pop. I adjusted one systemstart in savemode via "Msconfig" and the problem was gone. So i know none of my hardware is broken. I really need to solve this one to get to work again.

Re: How to Diagnose and Fix High DPC Latency Issues with WPA (Windows Vista/7/8)
Hey.
I had problems with sounds and mouse stuttering for a long time now, yesterday i finally learnt about the dpc latency thing. I managed to find the driver responsible for this.
It's called "wdf01000.sys" (http://screenshu.com/static/uploads/.../4a/i0ryo6.jpg)
I searched for information about it, and all i found is that it's responsible for "Kernel Mode Driver Framework Runtime" and that it can be updated with windows update
Sadly, there are no updates for it available, and i can't disable it.
Anyone, please help.
I'm on windows 8.1, 8gb ram, i5 4670k CPU.

Re: How to Diagnose and Fix High DPC Latency Issues with WPA (Windows Vista/7/8)
Thanks a lot for the 1st post. I managed to clean my creative soundblaster drivers, its ctoss2k.sys was giving me a lot of latency. The effect this latency is having on my computer is that if I leave my pc idle, after exactly two minutes, my screen starts to get a low FPS (8-10 frames per second) and in my Windows 7 OS itself, no matter what software I'm running or not. The moment I move my mouse or press a key the low FPS dissapear and everything returns to normal.
Sadly NVidia drivers are giving me high latency as well even wih the last version of their drivers 337.88
And the most intriguing driver with a high latency is one that XPerf is not able to identify marked with a ? as show below. Does anyone know what program I could use to identify what stealth driver this is and how to delete it?

Re: How to Diagnose and Fix High DPC Latency Issues with WPA (Windows Vista/7/8)
OOOOOOOOOOOOkaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy. . . everything went super peachy up until the part I was supposed to note down the driver causing the issue. Turns out the name of the driver is "?" and it's function, likewise, is "?" Any idea what I should do with this?
