CPU Usage - Windows Driver Foundation

RowanCGA · 05-10-2022, 09:56 PM

I've got the same problem with a large number of Microsoft Surface Go 1 and 2s.

It has to be down to the displaylink software, as you can see the windows driver foundation task spiking when you shake a window round (yet the CPU usage is actually low according to task manager...i'm talking max 20%).

Running a monitor via USB C directly into the device works fine. The Surface doesn't have enough USB-C ports to run more than x1 screen directly in and a side from this issue the dock is a really hand bit of kit.

Our users are running a dual monitor setup (effectively three screens) so I can't get away from the dock/displaylink software and it even lags with just the one screen.

May 2022...anyone managed to resolve this problem?
