May 21, 20215 yr I was always proud of the MSFS performance on my slightly dated system, but was shocked today. The last time I was flying was 2 days ago, and all was okay. Today it was a stuttering mess with 15-17 fps. Upon checking, CPU was at ~50% and GPU at 30%. So what happened? I wasn't in the air yesterday - but installed the Windows 21H1 update. Now, I'm not the one terribly afraid of all those updates, but I had a few suspects and the second one was already a hit: The update activated Hardware Accelerated GPU Planning (HAGS) which I had deliberately off according to several suggestions. Switched it off, restarted the machine, got into MSFS and voila back at > 30 fps and all stuttering gone (in the same place, same machine etc.). This may not apply to all, and I can't exclude other systems benefiting from HAGS, but mine definitely doesn't.
