Elden Ring stutters aftrer I updated Win 11 to 24H2

[Dr.Alina]

I run Elden Ring on Win 11 to 23H2 for like 100h without any major problems. Today (for some reason) I updated Win 11 to 24H2. After this, Elden Ring occasionally (ones per 1 -- 10 min) stutters on my PC. Stutters appear to be random, they look like the game pauses for a second and then speeds up. Other than this, Elden Ring rans fine (like no crashes).

After updating Win 11, I tried to ran Cyberpunk 2077, GoW Ragnarok and Witcher 3, no stutters, they ran perfectly. So the problem should be related to Elden Ring.

Can someone help me identify the reason I now have these stutters?

DDR: 32Gb, 6400MT/s, uclk 1:1

"it runs fine on 23h2 but not on 24h2, it must be the game code that has not been altered since more than 6 months".

interesting logic.

>interesting logic.
Ok, you may be right. Do you have any idea what can be wrong?

windows 11 24h2 is the worst windows build microsoft ever launched. the amount of issues it create is insane.

could be a lot of things, memory integrity feature, build update issues in general (EAC and 24h2 does not like each other) even that something gone wrong during the update.

for me 23h2 is the last windows, the list of issues with 24h2 is endless long and microsoft refuse to fix them.

>EAC and 24h2 does not like each other
So, if I ran Elden Ring offline, theoretically it can help?

you can check if memory integrity is off or if it is on if set it to off helps.

taskbar
core isolation
if active deactivate the memory integrity

just to mention i had give up to find workarounds for the issues with windows 11 24h2 there are some problems where system processes overflow core 0 and sometimes also core 1 with nonsense looped threads. microsoft ignores this problem so i'm basically done with windows after they have not fixed this since october 2024, even with detailed reports by experts that the thread management contain a coding error.

it should not be the task of software developers to code a error handler that put the own threads out of core 0 and 1 if windows decide to overflow this cores with threads.

Thank you!

Yes, it was ON. Unfortunately, setting it OFF had no effect on my issue. So should I turn it ON now?

if it has no effect you can set it back to on. after this the chance is high your problem is a core 0 thread overflow what reduce the eac performance.
the easy way would be turn back to 23h2 and hope they fix in the future the issues with 24h2

Am I right that you strongly advise me to rollback to version 23H2?

yes with my 7950x3d out of my library there are about 300 games that no longer work on 24h2 so i turned back to 23h2 and installed in parallel linux for future use.

[Dr.Alina]

I rolled back to version 23H2, no more stutters, Elden Ring rans fine again. Thank you so much for telling me about 24h2!

yes it is insane what microsoft do with us and that they ignore the problems they produced. there are even games that bsod on 24h2 because the OS itself can no longer stay stable with complete blocked core 0/1.

for real, how do you roll back to 23h2? Normally ive to put an old ISO with 23h2 on a bootstick and wipe the whole OS. Is that the only way? If yes, where do you get the ISO, or what is your propper way? Thank you for your Time dark-breed!

you have i think a week or 10 days to revert back to 23h2 after update to 24h2.
the other way is a fresh install with a 23h2 stick, you can get the original iso at archive.org
