I have a new HDD, a fresh install of Windows 7, SP1 and necessary drivers. Then installed VP using the all-in-one VPX 10.1 installer & later updated using the 10.2.0 all-in-one installer.

All the VP9 & VPX tables played just fine in DT and/or FS.

Then did a Windows updates since this is my primary PC & used the Convenience Rollup Package which installs most updates since SP1.

I then noticed some ball micro stutter on Funhouse VPX DT, and the sound seemed a bit different as if 2 sounds were playing at once. I could be wrong about the sound but it just seemed different. The only other table I tried at that time was Flash VPX DT & it seemed OK.

I loaded a fresh copy of Funhouse but it made no difference.

I re-installed VP using the VPX 10.2.0 all-in-one installer. When it got to the NET Framework part a message came up asking if I wanted to repair NET Framework or to uninstall Net Framework 4. I chose the repair option which took a few minutes to do. But when done there was still micro stutter on Funhouse.

I restored Windows back to before the updates & Funhouse now seemed OK. I used the VPX 10.2 all-in-one installer again to make sure I had all the latest components & again got the Repair or Uninstall NET Framework message & I opted for the repair. Funhouse seems OK..

I re-installed several regular Windows security updates but only the early NET Framework updates from 2011 & 2012 and everything still seems OK. I’ll slowly install the newer updates a few at a time & see what happens.

Apparently something was or is messed up with NET Framework. Could doing a bunch of NET Framework updates at one time caused a problem?

I looked at my Registry & the latest version I have is 4.0.30319.

Which version of NET Framework gets installed with the VP install package?
