Sound ISSUES Windows 10 DPC - Intel LAN drivers

[Kathrys]

Hey

If you are having issues with hiccups/freezes in Windows 10 and you have Intel LAN/WiFi adapters (mainly onboard), you are not alone.

Intel drivers are having this problem since the 18.5 update for Windows 8/7.

It gets worse if you are running a bittorrent client and intense downloads.

It appears as a problem in ndis.sys and tcpip.sys while running LatencyMon.

"guys its the intel network driver, anything past 19.1 will cause this issue, i use 18.5 with no issues, install intel driver 18.5 and your dpc latency spikes will go away!"

"Hi apoklyps3,


Thank you for the info. We will post the update when it is available.

LATEST driver as of this post:

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25016/Network-Adapter-Driver-for-Windows-10

20.3

still not fixed.

EDIT

if you disable the Intel LAN in Device Manager the problem goes away
I recommend buying a cheap USB adapter to use in the mean time, it fixed the problem here.

EDIT2

Also as a reminder, MANY network adapters are having issues, Intel isnt alone.

I am using a TP LINK with Mediatek drivers for windows 8 and the issue is resolved.

I reinstalled Windows 10 - 5 times before finding out the culprit, HOWEVER the problem didn't show up during my first installations of Windows 10 while I was testing some other softwares and the OS. I think the problem might be related to concurrent connections which I started testing on later installations.

TLR It seems to happen when using P2P clients like Bittorrent or while opening many concurrent connections.

so how did you fix it? there isn't any 18.5 driver suite for windows 10.
seriously thinking going back to windows 8.1...this issues makes windows 10 look like amateurish crap.

Use drivers for Windows 7, they fit perfectly.

The other thing is that it can be not a driver problem, I had same problem with I217-V lan card, on final it was a damaged lan chip because of overheat.

clearly you are not speaking out of experience. windows 7 drivers don't fit at all on windows 10.
the only ones that do are windows 8.1 drivers in 18.5 package, yet they bring nothing good to the table. DPC latency thru the roof, clicks, pops,freezes, stutters and whatnot still present.
my mobo is brand new...didn't have time to overheat and the problem is there on my older pc too, that has a realtek nic. the only common ground is Windows 10 RTM wich seems to be an alpha at best.

Why u use 18.5 when you say anything after 19.1 is Bad, why no use 19.1?

Thank you, Kathrys. I had the very same problem both on Windows 7 and now on Windows 10 and installing the 19.1 driver really solved it. (Since there was no Win10 driver of that version I installed the Win7 one)
Cheers!
