    The windows experience index has always just been arbitrary numbers so why even bother looking at it?

     

    Like its never made sense a hd7970 would score lower than a gt730 sometimes. Its all bullshit

    Never took it seriously either

    I updated nivida and re ran the assessment, all back to normal but drivers were only a few months old so still a mystery but back at 9.0 again.

    It's a very small variation. Theres no issue here and you will not see it impact performance in your daily tasks.

  3. You should try to isolate it by testing components or removing/disabling them.

    • Unplug your HDDs to see if the noise is gone
    • Test GPU for coil whine with heavy loads such as games to see if higher usage affects it
    • Unplug all possible fans temporarily (one by one if nessessary) to remove extra noise or narrow it down to specific fans if they're the culprit

    Also I've amplified the audio by 800% as it wasn't easy to hear it from the video at max volume.

  4. Have you narrowed it down to any specific action you're doing, specific timeframe or its completely random?

    What you should check is whatever programs are running on boot (using Autoruns or Task Manager) and currently running process to see if theres anything that stands out.

    Yup, it's like that, but still it asks me every single time.

    Okay type "default apps" in the start menu so it opens the Default Apps in settings. Go to the bottom "choose default apps by file type". Wait for it to load all filetypes and scroll down to .URL and select "Internet Browser". Hope that shakes up the file associations and fixes whatever is happening.

     

    Alternatively you can test this with making another user account.

    Sure. 

    The digital signature is there but somehow it seems corrupted. 
     

    msdelta.dll 435.88 kB · 0 downloads

    Yeah file itself looks okay and it seems its due to the digital certificate either expiring or something went wrong. Have you not updated Windows in a while? If its updated then you can try running DISM or SFC to repair problems with system files. But for sure we know it isn't anything dodgy, just windows being windows.

    This is the detail from Hitman Pro

    Scoring (23.0)
    Program is altered or corrupted since it was code signed by its author. This is typical for malware and pirated software.
    The file is located in a folder that contains core operating system files from Windows. This is not typical for most programs and is only common to system tools, drivers and hacking utilities.
    Time indicates that the file appeared recently on this computer.
    The file is protected by Windows File Protection (WFP). This is typical for critical Windows system files.
     

    SHA256 is different from what I have, mind uploading msdelta.dll for me to take a peak to compare?

  8. I have this file aswell so its part of the OS. "Microsoft Patch Engine" is the DLL's description. From the Hitman Pro's update log it looks like it thinks its an infected system file. While im not sure if thats a false positive heres what mine is on Win10 22H2: FileVersion 5.0.1.1, Product Version 5.00, 435kb, is digitally signed by Microsoft.
