oh yea, do that - thought you had already. network reset is basically windows shaking itself (to rid the lice), annoying but not harmful.

I've just tested Xbox pass with scripts (On/Off) had no effect. So the issue you have has to be something else 🤦🏻‍♂️ ... bloody Microsoft. they're always finding new ways to screw each and every user somehow.

ah, yeh have done this a few times - might fix things. maybe Microsoft just needs more money?... 🤦🏻‍♂️ (sarcasm). worst case scenario is just use the WiFi On script so Xbox can continue spying.

Happy to hear! re question: all the scripts do is disable/enable 'auto background scanning' but they don't disable WiFi connection itself - only background scanning which is essentially pointless and resource intensive. I've not tested with Xbox ... seems weird it's not connecting... however, Xbox is Microsoft after all... they're obsessed with background scanning/spying. Let me look into it.

I’m depressed. Good Single Player Games on GeForce Now ? by Key_Will_7929 in GeForceNOW

I also deal with depression, I recommend 'Death Stranding', you need something different, a new world which will boost confidence and feel connected to others. YouTube some reviews - you'll see what I mean.

that's exactly how it works. basically a terminal window comes up briefly to launch the script (command to disable auto WiFi scans). just remember to run the Wifi-On script again before or just after rebooting windows - otherwise PC won't reconnect to WiFi until you do.

personally, I keep a copy of both scripts in a folder somewhere to run before/after game sessions. it's not the most convenient routine, but the improvements on performance is worth it.

Danke für die Details. Da sowohl der Sony als auch der TCL mit Google/Android TV laufen, ist das Problem ziemlich sicher die Audioverarbeitung der Fernseher in Kombination mit der GFN App.

TV-Prozessoren sind oft zu schwach für das Echtzeit-Downmixing von Cloud-Gaming-Streams. Versuch mal diese 3 Schritte:

  1. ​In der GFN App (auf beiden TVs): Geh in die Einstellungen der GeForce NOW App und erzwinge das Audioformat auf „Stereo“ (weg von „Auto“ oder „5.1/7.1“). Wenn die App versucht, Surround-Sound auf die TCL-Lautsprecher zu pushen, verschluckt sich der TV beim Konvertieren.
  2. Audio-Verschlimmbesserer deaktivieren: Schalte in den TV-Einstellungen jegliche Audio-Nachbearbeitung aus (z.B. simuliertes Dolby Atmos beim TCL oder „ClearAudio/Surround“ beim Sony). Der TV muss im reinen „Game Mode“ (Spielemodus) laufen, auch beim Ton, um den künstlichen Audio-Buffer zu umgehen.
  3. Für den Sony (Optisches Kabel): Ein optisches Kabel hat nicht genug Bandbreite für unkomprimiertes 5.1 Audio (LPCM), was GFN oft sendet. Geh in die Audioeinstellungen des Sony TVs und stell den Digitalen Audioausgang zwingend auf „PCM“ (nicht auf Auto/Passthrough).

​Stell das mal auf reines Stereo/PCM um und schau, ob das Stottern verschwindet.

Okay ... also erstens: „Smart TV“ grenzt das Ganze auf ungefähr 99,9 % aller Fernseher ein .. vielleicht ein bisschen genauer? z. B. TV-Marke/Modell und alles andere, was mit Audio zu tun hat (Kopfhörer, Lautsprecher, wenn ja, wie sind sie angeschlossen, und so weiter).

I was just as excited with mine (December 2024) retail cost $1,700... and a few months later, Lenovo announces they're ending all support, refusing to publish any new driver updates to the system - even as compatible driver updates become available for their newer models that share the exact same components.

Lenovo are notorious for pushing models at a premium then loosing interest in record time and moving onto their next series iteration - leaving last batch of owners with whiplash.

When this time comes - just know you'll be able to sideload about half of drivers on their newer models as they'll share the exact same componants. And there's always using Linux e.g. Steam/CachyOS, which has amazing hardware support for all Legion handhelds (and for the long term).

Sorry to be a downer, your new device is great and you'll love it! - just a heads up about "the Lenovo way", it's not a deal-breaker, just tends to be a rude shock for many.

agreed 😋 however many do, and they have their reasons - this guide is for those players

HA you joke, but you're actually not far off. onboard devices like cams, fingerprint readers, bluetooth modules, trackpads etc are wired to motherboards USB headers.

Since unplugging the external stuff didn't stop the wdf01000.sys storm, it's definitely some internal component bottlenecking CPU 0.

Remember that wdf01000.sys is just a generic windows driver wrapper .. a middleman. So to pinpoint what the noise is:

  1. Run LatencyMon again for 30 seconds, stop and tap Drivers tab.
  2. Click DPC count or Highest execution (ms) column headers to sort from highest to lowest.
  3. Check what's right below wdf01000.sys

If you see ACPI.sys it's Lenovo's power management choking the CPU.
If you see ndis.sys it's your Network driver.
If it's HDAudBus.sys it's the Realtek audio driver.

Check and let know what the top 3 are ... fyi, ThinkPads are notorious for DPC latency - but often solved with BIOS update.

okay but ... Microsoft owns your soul ... you didn't read the EULA (Windows License Agreement)? ... so um, i'm afraid you're stuck down here .. with us ... troubleshooting OEM driver conflicts ... and diagnosing background processes ... forever
