Check the "PC Settings > System > Display > Advanced display settings" section for the listing.

Windows has "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" listed under the Device Manager, under System>Display, and under System>Display>Advanced Display Settings. I assume that is referring to the TV, but am not sure. (TV specs I can't tell you; it's a widescreen VIZIO of some kind, at least seven or eight years old)
I have a few HDMI ports on the back; per your suggestion, rgd, I swapped the ports.
I also found and ran some AMD driver auto-detect software; the guy who built the PC said he'd updated all the drivers, but the AMD software found several drivers still out of date. I installed them, and between that and the HDMI port switch, some (but not all) of the stuttering problem seems to have cleared up.
I can't really test it extensively right now, but I'll see how it's working tomorrow. Any other advice (maybe things that may have been missed during the initial setup? Again, this is my first experience with Win 11, so I may be missing something obvious) is appreciated!

Clean the drive and set it up yourself. If someone else did all the work, you're in for poor results, which can range from a lack of skill to spyware.

When the HDMI cable was linked to the motherboard's IO zone, it relied on built-in graphics, which appears to indicate an improper setup. The cable needs to be attached directly to the GPU, featuring only HDMI and three DisplayPort connectors.

Ensure the correct "Color profile" is set for your monitor. It should be available on your monitors support page.

It seems the situation is probably normal, considering the improved performance after port changes. There might be some value in using that onboard graphics HDMI port, though it could be unnecessary depending on the setup. As for the repair shop owner, he’s dependable and trustworthy, though he mentioned the build took him longer than expected and now plans to stop building PCs due to issues with Chinese components and documentation. For an 8-year-old TV, finding a monitor support page might be challenging.
