Not trying to hijack this, but may I ask what ASW problems you ran into? I experienced issues with jitter/stutter since around November. However, I doubt that ASW is the main culprit, but just a symptome of some other fishy things going on (maybe cause by the Win10 creator update or a GPU driver update). However, disabling ASW helps with the visibility of said annoyances.
How do you disable ASW by default? On our machines, ASW comes back on every time you restart Oculus services. I would love to disable it permanently if there’s a way.
