Windows Kernel Mode Drivers affect my latency - What to do?

SmokeyJoe

I recently bought a new PC with very high performance specifications (i9-13900F, 24 cores, 32 RAM..). Because of some USB connection problems, the manufacturer replaced my motherboard.

Since then my latency has gone through the roof and I need to use 512 as a buffer setting when recording but it is still cracking.

According to LatencyMonitor testing, this has to do with the Windows Kernel Mode Drivers. All my drivers are updated, windows is updated and so is my BIOS.

Anyone knows what this can be and what I can do about it?

I have a Komplete Audio 6 soundcard, Cubase 11 and Windows 11.

Yes, I have already gone through these.

They are not specific to my problem though. I need to understand specifically what needs to be done to these Kernel drivers.
