Hello, I'm experiencing freezing issues when playing games on my main screen while streaming Twitch or YouTube. The main display runs at 144Hz, but the second one drops to 60Hz. Changing the refresh rate to 120Hz didn't resolve the problem. This started after upgrading to Windows 11, and all Nvidia drivers are current. I've tried different Nvidia drivers and even lowered the second monitor's stream to 480p, which helped. Previously, I ran at 1080p or 2160p without issues in Windows 10. My PC specs are AMD Ryzen 3700X, 16GB RAM, 3600MHz, 2070 Super. No overlays or recordings are active. Anyone facing the same problem?

You might not be happy about this, but I strongly recommend going with Windows 10. At least until W11 is available. Otherwise, you could be limited in how long Microsoft takes to address this issue. Based on what I've seen before, they tend to prioritize multi-monitor users last. I don't expect any updates soon.
