Windows Audio Device Graph Isolation (audiodg) High CPU Usage

After upgrading to Windows 10 from 7, I have found my CPU usage to be much higher, and I have found there are a lot of new background processes eating up my CPU. Currently audiodg is using around 2% of my CPU constantly and although not much, it is getting a little frustrating. I never had this issue in Windows 7. Are there any ways to decrease CPU usage?

Ask yourself this:

"Whats the difference?"

4690K // 212 EVO // Z97-PRO // Vengeance 16GB // GTX 770 GTX 970 // MX100 128GB // Toshiba 1TB // Air 540 // HX650

Logitech G502 RGB // Corsair K65 RGB (MX Red)

Do you really care if the CPU usage increased by 2%?

Just take the fact in that Windows 10 uses more CPU in general.

I'm pretty much always at 8% CPU with my 4770.

I produce music!

Well, when every FPS counts on GTA V with a dual core, yeah kinda...

My guess as to the issue is because you have a Doge in your GPU fan. But seriously, its just windows 10 being... windows 10.

 

Windows 8 and classicshell is pretty much the best for gaming right now.
