Ugh. So it almost sounds like, currently, the best fix is running through a full Windows Update and downloading a bunch of other drivers. The problem is I can't figure out what the driver is causing the problem. I wonder if my LatencyMon attachments would be better off starting a thread trying to analyze the latency issues specifically.
Let's move to Windows Performance Recorder. Is this something that would produce a log of all activities taken by a computer, and how useful can this be in determining what is at fault? Should I try going through Event Logs and seeing if there is a clue there? I'd rather avoid the clean install as I have a nearly full computer drive, but worst case scenario it's definitely something that would fix the issue (and I could back up files to my laptop with some 600 GB of space)...I guess I could always try going back to an earlier version, then seeing if that solves the issue. I am not experienced with preventing certain suspected problem drivers from running, but if I were to try stopping one, a good target might be the NVIDIA ones. I have a NVIDIA High Definition Audio and a NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) WDM. I am actually suspecting the latter of the two, but I did read another thread suggesting that he disabled NVIDIA and went back to Intel and boom, it solved the problem. I wonder if it's that simple for me.
