Hi. My problem is that kodi menu on windows is very laggy. Mkv movies and tv shows plays smooth, but choppines on menu is very annoyin.
I've been using libreelec extended for acouple of day and is smooth as silk
But i still prefer windows cause i like rocketlaucher and launch some old windows game like silent hill saga and virtua tennis 4
I try dissabling some services on windows 8.1 and still no luck
My specs are
I3 3.1
4gb ram
Intel Hd2000
Emulators and those games runs smooth with those specs, and as i said, on libreelec menus and emus runs smooth too
I blame to 32bit kodi win and on linux there's 64 version.
Im clueless
Thank you

Well. Maybe im not made myself understand very well xd.
What i meant is maybe in linux works smooth because.is 64bit architecture, and in win is just 32. I think the performance is increased cause of this. How do I compare? Because i got 2 hdd so i swap between them in the very same dell.
Same hardware; windows is laggy and libreelec is smooth.
I soon as i get home i'll post a log.
Thank you
Pd: i m not english native

Oh, ok. You were making a comparison between two platforms. Sorry I thought you were stating that you had a laggy GUI.
I can't comment on your observation as I don't have libreelec. Maybe others can.

dual boot libreelec?
Get better drivers for your video card?

There may be better drivers available for your video device.

One things to keep in mind: while windows 8.1 use WDDM 1.3, it seems that the HD2000 driver provided for this OS only works with WDDM 1.2 that was made for windows 8
So there may be some functionnalities that do not work properly

I had poor menu performance on windows 7 with Kodi 17x. Switched to Linux for unrelated reasons and the problem was gone (same hardware).
Sorry I can't help more but I do think there is an issue somewhere with the windows release.
I tried resetting my profile on windows and that didn't help, so it wasnt an add-on.

Could be wrong but I would bet it comes from the fact that even if kodi does set a fix refresh rate it probably does not really send the corresponding fps* (probably to avoid high hardware load on UI) and Windows probably does not like it
(* sending a new frame only when a redraw was needed)

Is that new in 17? 16 was fine for me and I thought it did that dynamic FPS thing.

It was probably already there in v16
But with all the changes that has been made between v16 and v17, maybe it should not be there anymore...
