Microsoft has confirmed that their latest Windows 10 update (KB4482887), which released on march 1st, can actually degrade graphics and mouse performance in some games. As Microsoft themselves put it, "After installing KB4482887, users may notice graphics and mouse performance degradation with desktop gaming when playing certain games (eg: Destiny 2)."

There's no word yet on a definitive listing of games that suffer this performance degradation, but Microsoft is hard at work fixing this for the next Windows release. Until then, users facing graphics and mouse performance degradation can simply uninstall the KB4482887 update.

What just happened? As is often the case with updates of this nature from virtually every software maker, fixing a handful of bugs led to the creation of others. In this instance (and as outlined in the known issues section of the update), some users may have noticed graphics and mouse performance degradation while playing games like Destiny 2 on the desktop. Fortunately, Microsoft was quick to resolve this issue and another with update KB4489899.

Microsoft on March 1 pushed out a Windows 10 update, KB4482887, which delivered a number of bug fixes and enhances to its operating system. Chief among them was the ability to enable “Retpoline” on certain devices, a fix that boosts performance of Spectre variant 2 mitigations (CVE-2017-5715).

Released on Tuesday, KB4489899 should fix the aforementioned mouse and graphics issues as well as another problem in which some were receiving “Error 1309” when installing or uninstalling certain types of MSI and MSP files.
