Feedback for 8.1 alpha win 10 x64 prof.
The install/update went ok, there was a long delay (30sec+) after it was done before the screens came back on.
the mouse jitter is better. the cpu usage by WUDFHost.exe ( Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework Host Process) is still very high mem usage sits around 100mb when sitting idle with no videos or animation on screen, nor using the keyboard or mouse. The WUDFHost.exe process sits at 10-20% CPU usage. if you move the mouse this will jump up to 45% + (mouse is connected directly to pc not even going through the dock, looks like its the movement on the screen causing this) have a video playing no kb or mouse use 25-35% Just typing fast can get it to 18-30% these are not spikes this is sustained cpu usage if doing any of the above. dock D3100 3x screens PC Dell E7470 m.2 SSD i5-6300 @ 2.4 16gb ram ******* just to follow up got my first random crash of the dock,(3.5 hrs of use) all monitors and connected items froze for 10-15 sec then dock disconnected and came back up with one monitor un-usable(lit up with random colors system did not see it as connected) till I power cycled the dock Last edited by jaydub; 11-08-2016 at 02:49 PM. |

Hello,
Thank you for trying. The initial 30 second will be addressed in the release. Would you please be able to use the diagnostic tool again? It will collect the crash information. The event viewer information doesn't give what tripped, only that it did trip. I'm suspecting this is what we have observed too and is currently under investigation. Did you get a freeze or a blink? Kind regards, Alban

I have attached the new .zip.
I am currently back on a standard dell e-port dock due to the issues with the d3100, but the logs should still have the crash info. I can switch back to the d3100 if you need any further testing for the freeze/hang. the system would make the usb disconnected tone and one of my monitors would blink out mouse, kb and audio would work for another 15ish secs then everything would go black. The screens would flicker on and all open windows would be resized and moved to the main monitor (same as if I had undocked), then i could move everything back and be good for a few hours. I did have one time that it froze like the above came up, and then crashed only a few minutes later. This is when i made the move back to the old style dock. Due to needing/wanting to test the new displaylink drivers as they get updated i wanted to keep the alpha ones in place, rather than rolling back for stability but increased slowdown of 8.0 Last edited by jaydub; 11-09-2016 at 03:00 PM. |

Hello,
I have posted the 8.1 Release Candidate which addresses the crashes: Download 8.1_M0_Release_Candidate_8.1.855_Installer.zip The shutdown being longer has been accepted by Microsoft as a bug: we fixed a bug in our code which made an OS bug visible. There was not enough time to safely revert our fix for 8.1 M0, so we will reintroduce our bug (!) for 8.1 M1. Windows bug will be fixed in next OS version. Kind regards, Alban

Hi Alban,
just installed the 8.1 M0 and boy, what an improvement. No 30sec timeout anymore after installation. The mouse lagging is now completely gone. Let's monitor the glitch outs ...But I'm confident of this version |

I will feed back to engineering in the morning during our daily stand up. They will be delighted to hear their hard work makes a difference. Formal release of 8.1 M0 planned for 19th December, unless something wrong is uncovered by our testers or someone else. Kind regards, Alban

After some days testing I experienced absolutely no freezes/glitches/blackouts. This version for me seems to be perfect
OK, sometimes when watching Netflix + on another screen watching soccer it lags a bit but that's OK for me. If there is room for improvement, even better. Thanks so far, brilliant job |

hey guys!
I face the same issue with "Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework Host Process" going up to 40% CPU usage. if I don't use my mouse or keyboard the cpu usage is 1-2%. I installed the "8.1_M0_Release_Candidate_8.1.855_Installer", I don't see any improvement. Unfortunately, I am not as enthusiast as SchiefesFenster ! Good luck for the bug hunt! Config : XPS13 9350 with DA200 - 2 x 24 inch screen - one Display Port and one HDMI. Keyboard USB Mouse bluetooth MX Master. |
