I fixed my multi-monitor video stuttering by disabling these 2 windows features

Watching youtube videos and playing videos in windowed mode or windowed fullscreen has been causing jittery playback for a long ass time. The problem only occurred when plugged into my GPU and not my motherboard.

Found in the comments of this thread here, my problem was solved entirely by taking these two simple steps to disable windows features (thanks windows...)

  1. go to system>display>graphics>default graphics settings then disable "hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling"

  2. search for "Game Mode Settings" in the windows search bar, then disable "Game Mode"

If you have playback issues on windows 10 or 11 please give this a shot, I hope this helps someone else.
