Windows 10 and 11 troubleshooting questions
Windows 10 and 11 troubleshooting questions
I use two monitors—my Dell 27" and a Samsung 34" on Windows 10 LTCS. Mostly I watch videos on the Samsung, but I still get video stuttering when playing movies or opening tabs. I disabled MPO in the registry, yet it keeps happening. I’ve heard that the Samsung’s resolution differs from my Dell, so does W11 fix this? I’m also gaming a lot and was wondering if switching would help.
Hardware details? Check the resolutions and drivers. Avoid guesswork—W10 offers solid fractional scaling and multi-monitor support. If issues arise, W11 could be a viable alternative.
New GPU drivers are available; issues have been reported with my RTX 1070, Quadro P5000, and now the ARC B580. It might not be related to the graphics card itself.
It's normal when using GPU scaling with a variety of screen sizes since you need to transmit images to both your monitor and upscale them for your TV. This happens more often than people realize, though most don't own a 34-inch TV. In my setup, I used three 2560x1440p monitors paired with a 55-inch Samsung TV. Sometimes the scaling caused flickering, which affected all my systems—Windows 7, 8.1, 10, and 11. Most GPUs aren't built for TV scaling, but some cards are made to handle that task. Don’t worry too much about it. You could also consider using a GPU specifically designed for TVs or switch to a LAN-to-TV solution, which works well.
There might be problems with LTSC locations, which could be resolved by a retail branch. You'll likely need to upgrade to Windows 11, so it might be worth checking the update.
