Terrible system latency after reinstall, wdf01000.sys, nvlddmkm.sys, dxgkrnl.sys

[krisxmelderis]

I reinstalled windows 10 (tried 11, the same problems) - it made my DAW unusable, terrible crackles and pops no matter the buffer setting. Games also run with high FPS, but there's noticeable stuttering in sound.

Tried updating drivers, disabling nvidia drivers, multiple reinstalls, troubleshooting LatencyMod and others **bleep** - no luck, the problem persists.

From what I could tell from LatencyMod, the culprits might be:
wdf01000.sys
nvlddmkm.sys
dxgkrnl.sys

I'm at my wit's end, does someone has any clue what the **bleep** is wrong?
My guess, besides what LatencyMon says, is - it could be something to do with power stuff, I would get similar problems when I would run the laptop on battery and low power settings, but never plugged in.

It's a ASUS Strix G15 G512LW:
i7-10875H
RTX 2070
16GB
couple of SSD'S

I will post a run of LatencyMon, I really hope someone could help me figure this out, I really don't want to replace the laptop and this makes me unable to make music

Thank you!

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 0:43:05 (h:mm:ss) on all processors.

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): 1742.50
Average measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 5.480030

Highest measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 1738.30
Average measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 2.404846

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.

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

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: msmpeng.exe

Total number of hard pagefaults 90139
Hard pagefault count of hardest hit process: 11909
Number of processes hit: 219
