The most annoying and frustrating part for users is that this problem occurs on medium and high-spec machines. Intel recently released an update for their HD graphics driver and the release notes confirm it reduces stuttering in laptops equipped with discrete graphics.

So, if you’re still experiencing micro-stutters, try updating your computers to the latest Windows version and then install the latest Intel driver updates. Hopefully, this solution will work for you.
