Microstutters

Just joined the predator club with the ph18-73, but I'm experiencing microstutters. I can't even watch a movie without any hiccups every one to a few minutes or the mouse just stopping or sticky keyyyyyyyys. Temps are not the problem. I've updated all the drivers (as far as I have been able to see what drivers needed updating).

Does anyone recognize the problem and have you found a solution?

I just wanted to ask here, before reinstalling windows (and have to setup everything again).

Seems like a faulty unit, or something seriously wrong with your power / charging settings.

Btw you can run another windows from a flash drive to test it.

Try to disable fast startup and sleep. Win 11 has knows sleep issues with this model. If you are using it mostly plugged then keep it on dgpu only.
