Windows 10: Having trouble getting UHD movies to play - Can my Laptop handle it?

I have been having trouble getting UDH movies to play on my laptop.

I have a MSI GS70 Stealth Pro with the following specs:

Integrated Graphics Card:Intel HD Graphics 530 (Skylake-H GT2) - Integrated Graphics Controller [S0/R0] [MSI]
Processor: Intel Core i7-6700HQ Intel HM170 (Skylake PCH-H)
Dedicated Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M [MSI]
Memory: 16GB DDR4 SDRAM

Does my Laptop seem to have the specs to play UDH movies? I have tried VLC, MPC-HC x64, and CyberLink PowerDVD 18 with no luck. CyberLink PowerDVD 18 freezes and crashed after about 30 seconds, vlc and mpc-hc skip & stutter a lot.

Dell Laptop Touch Screen Glitches after Watching Video in Microsoft Movies & Video App

The hardware on the device is capable of handling and playing a 4K UHD video. I can stream the very same videos via a browser once uploaded to YouTube in UHD without this issue. I can also watch the same videos using Adobe Premiere without this issue. The
issue only occurs when viewing the video using Microsoft's Movies & TV software. Incidentally, Microsoft Windows Media Player works without issue as well.

I also recorded a video in 1080P and have the same issue using Microsoft Movies & TV.

I guess the ultimate solution is not to use your Movies & TV software to view videos.
