Comment on Kill dwm.exe on Windows for less input lag and better performanceparent

That’s extremely odd, and you’re not on some older Windows 10 build or LTSC? I definitely have long uptime bugs on my work computer but they’re more to do with Explorer than DWM/UI.

W10 Pro for Workstations, kept up to date.

Never had any issue like this until I had to replace a monitor, and the newer one doesn’t keep HDMI/DP signals alive at all when the display sleeps, causing Windows to think it disconnects.

It’s such a stupid and common thing that the “PersistentWindows” tool exists to put the windows back in position after W10 fucks up everything from the monitor disconnect. So it’s not a stretch to think dwm.exe has issues with it as well.
