Latency spikes after Windows 10 May Update

The issue appeared after updating to Windows 10 version 1903, as one Reddit user reported:

InLatencyMonI noticed large latency spikes of around 1300us for ntoskrnl.exe. I also ran into 1 instance where my entire PC froze for a good 10 seconds or so while playing Apex Legends before all of a sudden everything resumed back to normal. I was using drivers 430.86 but am now back on 430.64 (need to do more testing).

Ntoskrnl.exe also caused high CPU usage? Check this guide for further details!

since I made a fresh Windows 1903 install I get a high DPC latency spike caused by ntoskrln.exe. My windows is optimized. I disabled all the C states etc in my UEFI. I disabled (gpedit) auto update and driver installations from Microsoft at the beginning of my installation of the OS. My PC is a i7 8700k Z370 build wih a GTX 1080.

Major issue but no solution available

The users reported that the system had difficulties with real-time audio. They experienced clicks, pops, and dropouts due to buffer underruns.

In the latest Windows 10 update, Microsoft introduced some significant changes including those to the WDDM (Windows Display Driver Model) and kernel.

For now, there are no solutions for the issue, but there is a workaround. Users said that after reverting to Windows 10 version 1809, the problem disappeared.
