Here just after starting MSFS I got a window with a message that there is an update in the MS store.

I clicked OK, then the MS store opened and the update was downloaded and installed.

Then MSFS continued and the Installation Manager asked if I would dL the update. After OK the installation went smooth.

MSFS continued and went smoothly into the GUI.

I may have issues when flying but updating goes always supersmooth 😄

I've just completed a pre-update flight, approaching 76T Runway 35 from due south My usual 30fps was down to a stuttering 20fps 15 miles out and dropped to 3fps from the 10 mile mark right through until I landed. Never flown there before so I had to see it to believe it! Now to install the update...

Flew all around that airport after update. Got 44 FPS everywhere.

Please do post results after the update.... this is interesting!

PERFORMANCE

• Performance optimizations when flying close to large airports such as Dallas-Ft Worth (KDFW)
• Performance optimizations of server requests when in the menus and during flight

 

Navdata

• The Aeronautical Information Regulation And Control (AIRAC) cycle is being updated with new navdata.

I stayed at 19/20fps right up until shutdown so it's looking good so far.👍 

I get a fixed 30fps most places at 1440p so it's still slow, but it was stutter-free.

Woo hoo! That was great news.

 

I have not seen any sign of stutters so far around Sedona, Ariz., frame rates are right up there, if anything a little better than before

Better still, I found out why I was only getting 20fps on both the pre- and post-update flights - somehow, my V-Sync framelock had been changed to 20fps from the 30fps it should be. With that corrected, I maintained a constant 25fps.🙂

Took a flight into KDFW Fort Worth. 25fps until I was a couple of miles from the runway, when it dropped to a smooth 16fps. Considering I have the overall slider at Ultra when the sim recommends I use High, I can be pleased with that.

That's comforting to hear. Many good reports on the official MSFS forum too about fps and stutters.

Well, if past patch releases are anything to go by...

 

It definitely feels like the Aboso “A” team are working on the upcoming Xbox release.  The “B” team is working on DX12 implementation.  The “C” team is working on the World Updates and Regions and the “D” team is working on bug patches, missing incomplete content and general patches...

 

With each letter appropriately reflecting the quality and priority of the tasked team of course!

I hope they put more teams on DX12 soon, but that's just me. I'm thinking stutters, pauses to load scenery, rounded hills, funky clouds will all be driven into excile by the DX12  wizards!
