Videos Taking 5-10 Seconds to Open in MPC-BE, VLC, and Other Players

I'm facing a frustrating issue with the latest Intel® Graphics Driver (version 32.0.101.6559). After the update, videos in media players (MPC-BE, VLC, MPC-HC) take 5-10 seconds to open, whereas rolling back to version 32.0.101.6557/32.0.101.6262 resolved the problem immediately, restoring instant playback.

Has anyone else encountered this issue or have insights on why the new driver is causing this delay? I'd appreciate any suggestions to fix this without reverting to an older driver. Thank you!

@DuskyRick  Are having the same delay when clicking the windows start menu?

Not exactly. The problem that is stopping me from updating to the latest drivers is that my video files do not load instantly with the latest drivers compared to the previous version.

Hello @Earl_Intel 

My device is a desktop: I am currently using an Intel Arc B580 Gunnir Index.

And, yes, I used DDU to uninstall the current driver before updating to the latest driver.

After that, my videos did not load as quickly as they did with the previous driver version 32.0.101.6557/32.0.101.6262. So I rolled back to the previous driver, and the problem was resolved. I'll wait for a fix and then update my drivers again. Apparently, Intel Arc Alchemist GPUs face a similar, if not related, issue.

Hi DuskyRick,


Thank you for sharing this information with us.


No worries, I will further check on this internally and will update you on this thread as soon as possible.


While waiting, kindly run this on your system so that I can also gauge the following peripherals and the driver versions that you have:

Intel® System Support Utility for Windows*

Once finished downloading, open the tool, click on scan (leave the default items checked), click next, then save the system information to a .txt file. Please provide us the .txt file.


Having the SSU logs of your system will greatly help in the investigation.


Best regards,

Earl E.

Hi there! Sorry for taking a while to respond; I was catching up on some sleep when your message arrived.

I've attached the log file with the driver version 32.0.101.6557/32.0.101.6262 (previous drivers) that I'm using on my computer right now.

If you think it would help, just let me know if I should make a new log file with the latest WHQL driver. I'm more than willing to update to the latest version for a bit if that’s what you suggest. Thanks!

Hello DuskyRick,


Thank you for sharing the SSU logs from your system.


Don't worry, you may respond to us whenever it's most convenient for you.


Can you also provide us the SSU logs with the latest GPU driver version?


So that I may look at the problem with the most recent GPU version in more detail.

Hi there again! Here's the updated SSU logs with the latest drivers that made my videos load a bit slower than the previous drivers which made my videos open instantly.
