I've tried changing between optimize for programs and background tasks I've tried launching apps in a number of compatibility modes, changing DPI settings, disabled fullscreen optimizations I've made sure that the drives are all freshly Trimmed However, this pops up any time i launch a new app, even ones that don't cause this weird frame drop. I've run LatencyMon - only thing that pops up as high latency is nvlddmkm.sys - NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver. I've checked Event Viewer for errors/warnings, but see nothing happening.
