Error connected with "dxgmms2.sys" error with DirectX 8 or older games
This happened after the November 2015 update on Nvidia video cards that do not support DirectX 12 hardware features. Issue was resolved with Windows update KB3140743.
"To use this, you need to upgrade Windows" notification on Microsoft Store pages
Ensure Windows 10 is Version 1511 or later (run winver
from the start menu search box to verify).[1] The update can be installed through Windows Update (if listed) or manually from Get Windows 10.
Game Bar
The Game Bar allows easy recording of gameplay video (default ⊞ Win+G when in any game). It is enabled by default in Windows 10. Unfortunately, some games suffer from sporadic but severe FPS drops when the bar is enabled.[citation needed]
Disable Xbox DVR[2] |

DirectDraw is broken
This issue actually first materialized in 8.1,[4] unfortunately there is little more that can be done than use a DDraw wrapper:
- DgVoodoo 2, a glide wrapper, also has a DDraw wrapper built-in.
- Direct3D 8 has a very similar issue on 8.1 and later as well[5], however the ddraw wrappers do not fix the issue as D3D8 doesn't use ddraw, being the first DirectX to deprecate it. Instead use a patched d3d8.dll, the DX8 to DX9 convertor or the d3d8to9 wrapper.
- Users of Windows Vista and on-wards actually benefit from a DDraw wrapper due to it no longer being hardware accelerated on such systems, however the built-in DDraw wasn't completely broken until 8.1.
Microsoft removed the MIDI Mapper
Starting Windows 8.1 and later, Microsoft removed the ability to change the default MIDI device, at least officially
Modify the registry[6] |
---|
Go to: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32" |
Use a MIDIMapper replacement[7][8] |
---|
Use the CoolSoft MIDIMapper (requires sign-in to download) or KaleidonKep99's (A.K.A. Riccardo Loi) ReactOS MIDI Mapper (no longer availible). |
