As a rule, you have no control over patching in Windows 10. It won't let you select which patches to install and which not, or even tell you what it installed. The latest Windows 10 major update tells you there are a bunch of Exciting! New! Features! for you to try, but then won't tell you what they are.
The DXDIAG issue is not patchable. It's simply a limitation: DXDIAG is useless on modern hardware. There is no fix to install until (or unless) Microsoft updates DXDIAG to use an API that actually returns meaningful results on at least, say, a five-year-old laptop.
This slowed my minecraft down. Funny thing that worked though, if you have an NVidia card and an Intel card, you can possibly do what i did. I installed latest everything, drivers and java. Drivers for everything but intel graphics. nothing worked. But when i updated intel drivers, instant performance increase. I do not know why but it worked.
Not to say your solution doesn't work, but I tried it and the game won't even launch... No idea what went wrong. I know if I got one letter wrong it would mess up, but I don't think I did that. My game averaged at 2 FPS standalone, on minimum video settings. I've got a good sized RAM, at least 6 GB last time I checked, and even though the game only uses 25% of that on average, it still sits and grinds on 2 FPS. I got it to hit 60 FPS, but that was after 10 minutes of sitting still, and the second I moved it plummeted back to 2 FPS. This royally sucks, because on my last device, I had just gotten 64 Bit Java when the #### thing had a hard drive failure and wouldn't start up right. Figures, right? So, something about this new Windows 10 laptop I got sucks at Minecraft. Even with 64 Bit at the newest version, video settings minimum, AND performance of the device itself set to the maximum. It makes absolutely no sense to me, and none of my friends have been able to give me a legitimate or successful fix. I'm stuck in a time loop or something, I swear... Anyway, any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
This improved my FPS greatly, but it plays havoc with my mods because of the 1GB RAM limit that comes with 32-bit Java. I hope that either Mojang or Microsoft will do something about this because it is really annoying.
Huh. I just reloaded my 64x texture packs, without exiting that single-player game, and my framerate actually IMPROVED slightly.
Go figure.... there is something really, really freaking weird going on. And I'm certain Windows 10 is central to it.
I also think Windows 10 is central to it. I have my computer dual booted with Windows 10 and Ubuntu 14.04 and Minecraft runs fine on Ubuntu but terribly on Windows.

In my case, what finally resolved the issue was I:
backed up all of my user files and documents;
wiped the disk and did a completely clean reinstall of Windows 10;
restored my files.
And suddenly everything worked like a charm and I was back to full FPS. Clearly something involving the graphics subsystem went badly wrong in the Windows 7 to 10 upgrade process, but was set up correctly by a clean install.
Thank you so much for this amazing fix! My current PC video card drivers from my manufacturer Acer were extremely outdated. Unfortunately the video driver is a custom manufacturer driver, so I depend on them to update their drivers regularly. UNFORTUNATELY they did not. However running your 32 bit fix worked wonders.
I appreciate the suggestion a lot. You have a thumbs up here <3
I installed win10 a few months back and minecraft was close to unplayable. I didn't think much of it until I tried it again the other day, still the same, ran very poorly. The thing is, I knew for a fact that the minecraft(with mods) that I had ran great in win7, even used the exact same copy. The fps was anywhere between 0-4 in the menu to low 15-30s in the game. The system in question: e8400(that's a dual core 3ghz), 8gb ram and a 7870.
Today I uninstalled win10 and reverted back to w7. Guess what? Minecraft runs perfectly fine once again, solid 60 fps, no stuttering etc. I have no idea why w10 has a problem with minecraft but it does. It could be the java? I don't know but it's unacceptable. It helped *slightly* running minecraft in fullscreen mode in w10 but it still ran bad.
Every other game I ran in win10 works perfectly fine, ie fallout 4, skyrim, let me put it like this no other game caused issues except minecraft. I don't play any other games however that uses java. It would be a fair assumption that the cause of the problem is java+w10 on older computers.
I had very similar problems. What I eventually did, and the only way I could solve the problem, was this: I backed up all of my files, wiped the computer, performed a CLEAN re-install of Windows 10, and restored all my files. And suddenly I was back to 50-60fps instead of 3-7.
I don't think that the problem is Java plus Windows 10 per se. I think the problem is that when you do an upgrade install of Windows 10, it has a nasty habit of screwing up the graphics subsystem in a way that completely breaks OpenGL in Java. But a clean install gets it right.

Problem solved M8s!
1. Open "Edit Profile"
2. Turn off "Enable Experimental Development versions (Snapshots)"
Why Turn it off?: The Versions are Experimental and they aren't completely patched yet... So please play other versions that are already released.

Nothing to see here, move along.
