Having finally finished my fresh re-install of Windows and MSFS, an on-going issue since the previous installation is still present - any time there is an overlay on the screen, it introduces stuttering. By 'overlays' I mean if I use Game Bar (to take a screenshot, record video, display fps etc) or if I change system volume (and the volume level display comes up in the top left of my screen). The stutters immediately stop when I close Game Bar (clicking anywhere on the screen) or when the volume display fades away.

I've mentioned this problem several times but nobody else has ever mentioned they have experienced it nor offered any suggestions to fix it. It doesn't appear to affect anything else, such as either of my Forza games (which I've yet to re-install).

Any ideas?

I would not know how to help with that problem.

A sort of distantly related problem are opening new windows (instead of overlays). Have been posts here to run any second monitor off the motherboard video port, instead of the gpu port if the system allows that.

opening new window

Funnily enough, I've had no issues running a second monitor off my GPU (but I currently have that disabled while I test the new install). I could cope with this issue if it didn't prevent me displaying system stats or recording/taking screenshots. It's just odd nobody else has mentioned it and that a fresh install of both Windows and MSFS has failed to stop it happening, especially as it was never an issue until recently.

I'm experiencing stuttering with poor FPS and the circle constantly spinning when starting a new flight. I am at the early stages of faulting this - but exiting and restarting the flight on both occasions this has happened over the weekend has resolved the issue.

@hanhamreds Sounds like a very different issue. There are a number of threads about the spinning circle but it seems I'm the only one with overlays causing stuttering.
