Windows 10 2D graphical slow before starting 3D app

[ton211]

Hi everybody,

I'm having the following problem with windows 10:
- after starting my pc, the drawing of window-menu is very slow. eg. If I right-click the taskbar the menu doesn't show up directly, but only after 20 seconds or so. It only shows the frame first and not the full menu. This is with all menu's
- after running a 3D app (like a game or Heaven benchmark), all 2D windows show instantly.

I'm running the following configuration:
- Intel 5960x
- 16GB of RAM
- 64-bit windows 10
- 3840x2160 resolution 32 bit@60Hz
- NVidia 1080 GPU (MSI Seahawk EK X) with driver 378.66
- Intel 1.2TB NVE (750 series)

The problem already also existed when I still had a pair of AMD 290's in the PC. So that disqualifies a driver issue.

Sound like a BIOS issue, not a graphics one. Have you re-installed Windows 10 or set the environment to performance, etc?.

Not that you completely explained the problem, but if you had this issue before, are you saying it has been a constant problem with that rig..? (And did you just get a 1080, why not a 1080ti for 4k resolution...?)
