Windows 10: Games appear as stuttery on second monitor

So I have a a laptop and I usually have it hooked up to a bigger monitor which is a bit older but mostly works fine, and sometimes when I play some videogames the game stutters a bit even though the fps counter says it's running just fine, when I switch to the laptop screen it goes perfectly.My specs: https://spec-ify.com/profile/9e514f98

Second monitor appears pixelated sometimes

Before we get started, here might be some setup information that may be worth noting. My primary monitor is a 1080p, 1920 x 1080 (native) using an HDMI to DVI. My secondary monitor is a SONY TV 1360 x 768 (native) using an HDMI. Both are connected to my graphics card and not the motherboard. I have always had this setup but I have not always had this issue.

Preforming the following actions may cause my second monitor to appear pixelated.

• Getting a web browser out of maximized mode by click dragging the window or using the restore button
• Using full screen on the secondary monitor
• Dragging a window into the second monitor, sometimes

In order to temporarily solve this issue I must apply a change to any display using the Nvidia Control Panel. Using the Windows display settings to apply a change does not always fix the issue. Also note that after the second monitor goes pixelated, my computer does not detect a change in any display's resolution settings.

So far I have tried the following fixes to no avail

• Keeping display drivers up to date
• Using a DDU to wipe display drivers clean and start anew
• Using the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter

I have tried to use capture software to screenshot the pixelation but it can not see it. I have to use a camera to show what it looks like instead.

Capture software is not capable of detecting the pixelation so I have recreated what it looks like on screen. Use this as reverence if the pictures look bad.

Second monitor screen resolution problem

Hi,

For us to properly isolate the issue with your second monitor screen resolution, we would like to know the following:

• 
  Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue (e.g., updates, software installation)?
  
• 
  When did the issue first begin?
  
• 
  To make sure that we have not missed on anything, what troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
  

In the meantime, we suggest that you try resetting your monitor settings, and check if the issue still persists. You may refer to your monitor on how to reset it.

We look forward to your response.

 

How to stop all the main screen icons moving to second monitor (Windows10) ?

Hi,

This can be a default when opening a game to maximize the functionality of having two monitors. To clarify the issue, we need additional information:

• When you close the game, do the icons go back to the main display or does it stays on the second monitor?
• Have you tried any troubleshooting steps?

We'll keep an eye out on your response.
