Windows 10 update causes performance drop in games
New Windows 10 update is causing complaints from some video game fans, who highlight performance drop in Destiny 2.
Updates to the operating system, drivers and software are important, but lately more problems than they theoretically correct. Microsoft knows this well and it is that last October's update for Windows 10 was a notable headache. It seems that the problem is repeated with the update of March 1 with the name KB4482887. This new update would be giving important performance problems in games. Many users have started to report that their games perform worse under this new update.
Performance issues with the latest Windows 10 update
Microsoft has implemented support for Retpoline, which should improve the performance of computers with a patched version of Windows for the Specter vulnerability. Errors associated with Action Center, Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, and other major items have also been fixed.
The problem is that users have noticed brutal performance drops. Many users on Reddit are complaining about this issue. It seems that the problems are mostly linked to the title Destiny 2, which would have become problematic, to the point of being practically impossible to play.
One user remarks: "I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why Destiny 2 suddenly dropped to 40 FPS." Another user said: “I also had this problem, where when I moved the mouse I saw the performance drop from 60 to 35 FPS and the game started to give performance problems, even the game audio was distorted and my audio quality was distorted. This problem happened just after updating Windows 10, so I hope that helps you "
All this controversy has been seen by one of the Microsoft Windows engineers, highlighting that the problem is not from Retpoline and that they speak with the company. It seems that they are going to pass the ball between each other. The funny thing is that it only happens with Destiny 2. It always remains to not install this update or uninstall it.
