Significant performance hit when wallpaper changes

[MrAlfredBuddyGuy]

For a long while I've been suffering from a really frustrating, keyboard smashing inducing, performance problem.

Basically on regular intervals things would be fine and then gpu usage would plummet and in game and even desktop performance would freeze or just be extremely slow to respond until a few seconds later.

And as you can see, this would just ruin many competitive game situations.

I even reformatted and installed windows fresh just in case but it continued even after that.

 

Finally after many months of living with this. I came to the realization that the problem ONLY happens when my wall paper changes in windows 10.

 

But the heavy question... what do you think is the defective part.

CPU Ryzen 7 1700x   or (Was oc'd to 3.8 but even after disabling OC problem persists)

GPU: Radeon R9 390

How about adding to the conversation instead of bashing windows 10. This doesn't happen on other pc's.

it happens to all my computers that's why i went with a static non changing background. and win10 deserves a bash its horrible xD. if it only happens when the background changes its pretty self explanatory that that's the issue and he should just disable it.

Naturally I disabled it when I came to the realization that was what caused it. But I'm not convinced it's a widespread issue.

Do you have AMD or Intel, AMD or Nvidia?

on my win 10 machines i only have intel and nvidia haven't tested it with my amd one but figured it would be the same story ? for some reason it takes a crapton of power to change that background picture lol. i haven't bothered to look to closely into it to be fair.

 

Didn't realise that you were the OP

If u want nice or changing  wallpapers just use wallpaper engine works fine for me (u can set pause background animations switching etc if u are in a fullscreen app like a game etc .)
