Win 10 AU, DisplayLink 8.0M3, and Chrome Issue

Trekari · 10-31-2016, 06:03 AM

My system is an i7-4770K, with a GTX 1080 and the latest version of Chrome and Nvidia drivers (and Displaylink).

When my USB monitor is turned on, Netflix.com videos are completely unwatchable, with my CPU frequency spiking to 108% of maximum and experiencing extreme lag/stutter, but only on Chrome.

If I use Microsoft Edge, the videos play without trouble.

However I can fix the problem with Netflix/Chrome entirely, by simply turning off my Touch2 USB monitor. The videos immediately resume without lag or stutter, until I turn the Touch2 back on and the problem immediately returns.

This problem was resolved completely by rolling back to Windows 10 version 1511, but that is no longer an option.
