Windows 10: Windows 10 2004 Micro stuttering on dual monitor setup 144Hz/60Hz

I recently get new 144Hz Monitor but I can't play in Windowed Fullscreen because I have some weird micro stuttering, problem solves when I switch to Fullscreen mode. I have read about this problem with dual monitor setups that doesnt match refresh rates but I also read that this new Windows 10 2004 finally fixes this issue. Have I done something wrong? My 144hz monitor is Gsync Compatible I have turned VSync on in My NVC panel and turned off in game. My Gsync is set for Fullscreen and Windowed in NVC. Is there something obvious about that or this "fix" in new Windows does not simply work? I dont want play forever in Fullscreen mode this so exhausting :/

Dual monitor setup locks 144Hz monitor at 60Hz


I've been running a multi-monitor setup for a while now, with an ASUS VG248QE 144Hz monitor as my main, and one or more spare monitors as secondary displays. I've set the ASUS monitor to 144Hz without issue in the past, while the other monitors stay at 60Hz.

The other night, Windows wanted to update. I figured it was the usual patch session, so I let it do its thing. However, after restarting my computer, I noticed that my ASUS monitor would only operate at 144Hz if it was the only monitor plugged into the system. When I try to set it higher in the Nvidia control panel, it just reverts back to 60Hz after applying changes. I updated my graphics drivers (though I was only one version behind) and even sought a special ASUS driver for the monitor to resolve the issue, but nothing has helped.

Did Windows recently add a forced refresh rate sync between all monitors recently? If so, that really sucks because I only own one 144Hz monitor.

 

Dual monitor setup locks 144Hz monitor at 60Hz

As I said in the OP, configuring the monitors in the Nvidia control panel did not help.

All the monitors are detected properly in Device Manager:





If it were a video driver issue, then why would the multi-monitor setup break after a Windows update? The GPU driver did not change until I updated it in an attempt to solve the issue.

 

144hz and 60hz Stuttering Issues

Yeah that's definitely the problem, but how do I solve it? Do I seriously just have to buy a 144hz monitor just to use as a second screen?
