About this tag
LatencyMon is a free Windows utility from Resplendence that diagnoses kernel-level latency, helping users identify the drivers or processes causing audio pops, micro-stutters, and input freezes. The tool measures high-priority kernel events such as ISRs, DPCs, and page faults that standard task managers cannot expose. Common culprits include ACPI.sys, NVIDIA drivers, and other misbehaving drivers. Users have successfully used LatencyMon to troubleshoot stuttering in games, audio dropouts on Dell XPS laptops, and general system sluggishness. The utility provides actionable data to pinpoint and resolve latency issues, making it essential for anyone experiencing intermittent performance problems on Windows.
