lowest settings 75% render scale

low gpu usage and low fps (for my settings with my gpu). high cpu usage of overwatch for no reason.

well ... I did told you to go into Details, not processes, and order by CPU usage

you should also terminate MSI Afterburner and Riva Statistics

 

Desktop Window Manager should not be using that much CPU %, something ain't right with your Windows install

Alright I'll terminate those programs.

 

About the windows install it has been working fine I think. I did recently have a big update though which might be why it's different. "feature update" or something it's called. brb with picture of details.

the DWM eating 5% isn't OK

I'd rather create a thumb drive with the W10 Media Creation tool from MS' site and install fresh

 

there is to much crap in the background ... chrome opened, some Razer shit, some ASUS shit

I can't tell if it's a Windows problem or a driver problem

1. You want me to do a fresh install which means that I lose all of my stuff?

 

2. I did not have a noticeable problem 2-4 days ago if that limits it down. I do not remember my gpu usage but I don't think my cpu usage was 100% I could have a browser+wtfast on in the background if I wanted to. But I think I closed browser for 10 fps or something.

deleting your stuff is up to you

I'd rather make back-ups for the important stuff, even blizz games can be backed and later point the blizz app to their destination

 

you already said you did a DDU .. so I can't exactly think of anything but an OS problem

 

also, the Creators Update was a shit show for a lot of people

I will most likely download the same programs that I had. Will this change anything or still good to try fresh install?

 

Was creators update the "feature" thing that I saw as most recent update?

I don't understand what are you trying to say .. you don't want to back-up your stuff and just download it again ?!?!

Won't I have same crap in background if I redownload everything?

I would skip the seriously irrelevant shit that's of no use

I did move some stuff to my 32 gb usb. Do you think I should use cloud backup program instead?

that's up to you, I have no opinion on that

 

ps: the "cloud" does not exist!

100fps is not playable? o_O

 

Are you noticing a performance decrease?

It may be a simple case of an update using more resources.

Playable is subjective but I do have a 144hz display which means I want at least 120 fps (stable). Especially on lowest graphics on a great (optimised) game

How would you save "important things"? Usb or something else?

What is "seriously irrelevant"? Do you not like Chrome the browser, msi afterburner and razer (syncs/controls my dpi)?

 

Or did you refer to something else?.

aside Chrome

I do not know exactly how the Razer shit works, heard it has to be connected online at all times

the ASUS' shit, do you absolutely need it?!

MSI Afterburner - I discovered through my own testing that this software has serious memory leaks, I stopped using it

The asus program is the only hardware monitor I have and it lets me control 0 db fan mode (on or off). Yeah I am pretty sure I need to be online and have the Razer program.

 

What do you mean with memory leaks because of afterburner? Did it use up a lot of ram?

 

Update:
I'll try one last time with ddu (safe mode) and old driver then I try fresh install if it doesn't work.

yep, for prolonged gaming sessions I saw RAM usage go to 10GB and more

Wow.. I only have 8GB but I haven't noticed any problems with MSI afterburner.

 

Did this happen often for you and when did it occur? (how much play time etc)

What do you use to control gpu fan speed (and oc gpu) if you don't use afterburner?  

 

It has so much features

it happens every time I leave it open for extended periods - 1-2 hours of play, or more

I set the fan mode with the provided tool then unticked the load on startup option

same for OC
