I've observed that certain games cause my second monitor to lag when I'm playing them. The issue appears only when the game is active, not when Discord or YouTube are running. Restarting Discord in admin mode resolves the problem, but it doesn't help with other applications. When a YouTube video is open, audio works fine but the video itself stutters and stops. Switching from a game window to Chrome fixes the video playback, but it resumes normally when I return to the game. Stellaris seems to be the exception. It looks like a driver problem, though updating graphics drivers hasn't helped. These issues seem connected to Discord and Chrome, but it's hard to pinpoint the exact cause. Anyone else experiencing similar problems?
