@WhtFeather That is strange. I don't know how it ends up in the One Drive folder. Have you tried completely uninstalling the game, and also deleting the entire BF2042 folder in the path you showed?
I have deleted it all before, I am going to again, but I have to move the stuff from OneDrive first. Anyone able to read dump files to see what they contain?
@WhtFeather If you no longer use OneDrive, then I'd make sure it's removed from the computer completely (e.g. via CCleaner). I'd make sure that it's no longer on your computer via Start > type "Programs" > Add or Remove Programs. If OneDrive still shows up there, then left click Microsoft OneDrive from the list of programs there, then select Uninstall there.
For the dump file, if someone can analyze it here, I'd either get the DMP file added/linked here, or there should be an online walkthrough of how to open a DMP file on your computer via the Command Prompt, which you can then post an image/text of here.
I have completely removed OneDrive, but windows keeps putting the folder back in. I may have to reinstall Win 10 again.
Opened the mdmp file, actually many of them and they all came up with the same error.
@WhtFeather Not sure you've figured out how to fix this since.
That error appears to show up when not being able to process files correctly, which I believe relates directly to the OneNote folder that keeps getting created.
Part of the troubleshooting involves one to "Reset your PC" and "Keep my files" (so as not to lose data). That may be something to consider.
Hello @SterlingARCH3R. Thank you for what seems indeed to be a very comprehensive list of items to look at to optimise the PC experience. Have you measured the results of your suggestions? You can imagine people can be sceptic, with good reason, as so much internet advice goes around that are false or makes little difference. I mean I make changes to games myself, but I often wonder whether the differences are in my head or actually measurable.
@Maj_Meerkat Yes. Since your rig/setup may be different, I recommend pulling up performance indicators while making each change. For me, what I share all make an improvement.

I use a program from NVidia called frameview. It’s a really basic FPS and frametime recording tool that has an on screen display of useful information plus it can record your metrics and automatically loads it into an excel spreadsheet. When I first play a game this is the first thing I do and test all the game settings. for example I found with bf2042 that using directx 11 versus 12 made no differenece to fps or frametimes, also future frame rendering on or off made no difference. the preset graphics settings do make a big difference and also dlss turned onto quality mode gave me an extra 15 fps. your rig will be different. test test test.
I followed your guide & it worked great but now BF 2042 just had an update Fri/17th of Sept. Now my game locks up after a game & black screens. I went into my Nvidia 3D settings on the control panel & where u said set the BF2042.exe to priority it won't do it. I click on it it & it puts it in the spot but blinks right back to Adobe Acrobat which I have no idea why?? anyway there's no way to save the changes either. So what am I missing or doing wrong??
I even tried to add BF2042.exe from the list & it's a no go.
