Could be a driver that has similarly gone haywire because of Windows. I’m experiencing the same kind of hitching when playing games on the Framework Desktop and my Event Viewer has lots of events for mtkwecx, USB-USBHUB3, and TPM.
- The description for Event ID 1003 from source mtkwecx cannot be found.
- USB device draining system power when system is idle. USB Device: VID: 0x46D PID: 0xAC4 REV: 0x900 Removal action failed: QueryRemovalInitiated Re-enumerating a DRIPS blocking device that was previously removed when exiting low power epoch.
- The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) hardware failed to execute a TPM command.
Which I have seen a video in which the internal Wi-Fi card on a recent Windows update on 24H2 is causing weird behavior if the internal Wi-Fi card is in use. I would hate to have to find a USB WiFi dongle and disable the internal Wi-Fi card in the bios to stray away from these unplayable hitches until a new driver bundle or Wi-Fi driver is released.
In the past, I had been getting these random unplayable hitches while playing games and thought it was that I downloaded the AMD drivers on AMD’s own website after using the driver bundle. I’ve went ahead and used AMD cleanup and re-ran the driver bundle and it wouldn’t hitch at all for a day or two, then seemingly Windows does an update to a driver in the background and I’m hitching in game play again.
