Device Manager automatically updates to game stutter mode.
Device Manager automatically updates to game stutter mode.
Hello, this has been an issue for a while, and has persisted between many pc upgrades and component changes. Every few minutes, to every hour or so, my device manager will auto refresh by itself. when this happens, in some games like Elden Ring, it will cause a full stutter for a brief moment, and in Final Fantasy 14, it causes a controller disconnect. Have Tried: Running /scannow BIOS Update Clean Boot Plug in each device one at a time Due to the nature of the issue, it is really hard to tell which device is causing the issue. I have unplugged every device, and plugged in each time and waiting. Mouse was first, and was fine. hour later i did the keyboard and was fine, hour later i did mic and was fine, then i was out of the house for a few hours, came back and still no auto refresh. i plugged in the dongle for my Hyperx Cloud 2 Wireless, and after an hour or so it gave me an auto refresh. As of typing this, i have plugged in everything except for the dongle for the headset, and within half an hour it still has not auto refreshed, but due to the nature it is hard to tell if this was a fluke or not. Is there any software that will allow me to watch changes in device manager when an auto refresh happens? i thought Event Viewer would give me something along those lines, but it does not log when something like that happens. (thanks microsoft for making troubleshooting harder for no reason)
I've attempted to check devices one by one, but I couldn't pinpoint the problem. I assumed it was my headset dongle, though Discord automatically refreshed when I opened Device Manager. The network connection remains stable; I’ve turned off Wi-Fi and switched to a wired connection. Only Bluetooth is affected, and this issue also occurred on my old motherboard without any wireless options. It’s become frustrating after trying everything except reinstalling Windows.
Update noticed the headset disconnecting even after being unplugged, yet it kept refreshing automatically. I tried removing all audio drivers and restarting, but the problem persisted.
