Random Game Freezes - Temporarily Locks Up PC
Ever since the REDSEC update i've been getting random game freezes at random times. These freezes when they occur cause the game to stutter, all sound to be muted, and if in a Discord call it caus...

AnthonyKinson try running LatencyMon to see where the system lag is coming from.

Also download HWiNFO and check system temperature and CPU clock frequency.
I have HWiNFO, system temps are fine, pc is in a LIAN LI DK07, all very low, CPU freq is within normal range too for all cores/threads @ around 5500MHz.
I did keep Latencymon running while I played for 30 minutes just now, when the freeze/hang happened, it reported wdf01000.sys as the highest interrupt and DPC routine execution time. Everything was perfectly fine and low before the random freeze.Given wdf01000.sys being reported, it made me think of the Windows power plan. set to high-performance mode, but "Energy Saver" was turned on.
Testing now with this disabled, and have not had a freeze in the last 10 minutes. I suspect Windows Energy Saver is doing something in the background. Will report back and update if this has been fully resolved.Following up, the power plan and energy saving made no difference. Random freezes still occur. I had a bigger-than-normal freeze today that locked up my entire pc for about 10 minutes, forcing me to use the reset button.
Just played a few games of Battlefield 2042 and it ran flawlessly, so I suspect it's something that changed in the REDSEC update or the Javelin Anti-Cheat for BF6 that my PC doesn't like 🤔
LatencyMon alternates between wdf01000.sys (Kernel Mode Driver Framework Runtime) and nvlddmkm.sys (NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver) as the highest latency/execution time.
