Hetsig Posted September 20, 2014 ID:881019 Share Posted September 20, 2014 This is starting to royally piss me off. When ever a website uses flash in some way Google Chrome lags in all tabs. dwm.exe starts to use 5% of my CPU. When i close the tab that's using flash it works fine again.The weird part though is that i use 2 monitors (1 HDMI and 1 VGA) and when i have the tab on the other monitor and have that tab active the lag disappears on that monitor, but when i press on the other monitor the other monitor starts to lag the tab again. When i kill dwm.exe or inactivate Aero there's no lag whatsoever. This started 2 days ago and i haven't installed anything weird. Here's DXDiag if it helps: http://pastebin.com/2bzFc9J7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinHeadedEagle Posted September 20, 2014 ID:881098 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I do not see signs of dwm.exe or any malware actively running on your system. We will perform just simple maintenance: Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine. Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable. Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop: Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!Right-click on icon and select Run as Administrator to start the tool.(XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).Press the Fix button just once and wait.If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.Please attach it to your reply.fixlist.txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hetsig Posted September 20, 2014 Author ID:881103 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I don't know why dwm.exe wasn't in the logs."The dwm.exe file is the Microsoft Windows Desktop Windows Manager and is a valid Windows file that should be running on your computer."It's still lagging my computer when i use flash though. I'm currently watching on Twitch and when i fullscreen the player the lag vanishes.Fixlog.txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinHeadedEagle Posted September 20, 2014 ID:881107 Share Posted September 20, 2014 This is not affected by your PC, problem is probably with their website. Does this happens with Youtube or in other browsers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hetsig Posted September 20, 2014 Author ID:881111 Share Posted September 20, 2014 It happens on every site that uses flash player. Youtube, Twitch, flash games for example.I tried IE, Firefox and they are lagging aswell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinHeadedEagle Posted September 20, 2014 ID:881123 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Can you turn off hardware acceleration? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hetsig Posted September 20, 2014 Author ID:881128 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I disabled HW acceleration in the Flash Player but it didn't do anything. I had a FPS counter on and this is the frames i have on my desktop:dwm.exe enabled, twitch.tv without fullscreen = 15fpsdwm.exe enabled, twitch.tv with fullscreen = 30fpsdwm.exe disabled, twitch.tv without fullscreen = 60fps I have no idea why dwm.exe is doing this.

Hetsig Posted September 20, 2014 Author ID:881129 Share Posted September 20, 2014 It feels like whenever i use flash, dwm.exe is limiting my fps to 15 on the whole computer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hetsig Posted September 20, 2014 Author ID:881130 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I closed Chrome, started World of Warcraft, had 97fps ingame.I started Chrome and went to twitch.tv on monitor 2 dwm.exe jumps up to 5%, i start World of Warcraft and then i have 15fps ingame. I always play games on monitor 1 and watching either Youtube or Twitch on monitor 2 and i have never had this problem before. It started 2-3 days ago. Can it be that dwm.exe is leaking something?

TwinHeadedEagle Posted September 20, 2014 ID:881247 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I don't know how to help you further. This issue isn't caused by malware it is probably some kind of Windows bug? Do you have all Windows patches installed? Read more here about dwm.exe http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/what-is-dwmexe-and-why-is-it-running/http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch001182.htm Also: Try turning off all the windows effects (rightclick my computer > properties > advanced > performance > untick all the box's), and see if you get any of the symptoms you had before. This way you will know for sure if its your windows aero. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hetsig Posted September 20, 2014 Author ID:881260 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Weird, i pasted in the youtube link. How about this one? http://youtu . be / Gbyzjb3zJ9Y Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hetsig Posted September 20, 2014 Author ID:881297 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I did solve it.I used Process Explorer to watch the dwm.exe work. I copied the info in the "Thread" tab, then i started a video on Youtube,when it started lagging i refreshed the Thread Tab and found over 13 instances of the "nvwgf2umx.dll" which is a DirectX10 dll.I searched for it on google and there was a thread about Dead Rising 3 crashes including this dll file. Then i remembered that wheni installed Dead Rising 3 i also installed DirectX from the install which might have given me the dll file that's not working properly. The fix was to downgrade the NVIDIA drivers from 344.11 to 340.52 and it solved my problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
