Discord Freezes Mouse/System Constantly While Streaming

  • Edited

I have been living with a rather frustrating issue that I can't seem to resolve which is making Discord almost unusable. Whenever I begin streaming my desktop on Discord, my mouse and overall system will freeze for 1-2 seconds every 4-5 seconds, almost like a micro stutter. I did not have this problem on my previous system which ran Windows 10 (but it was also different hardware - using the same 2 1440P monitors, one with G-Sync and one without).

Troubleshooting attempted so far:

- Reinstall Discord
- Run Discord as admin / run in compatibility mode for Win 7
- Disable keybinds, disable hardware acceleration, disable notifications
- Ensured Video drivers are up to date

System specs:

Windows 11 10.0.22000
nVidia RTX 3080TI
AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
32GB DDR4
Gigabit fiber upload/download

Any help or troubleshooting suggestions would be most appreciated.

    The solution to this problem was installing the latest BIOS for my Gigabyte motherboard (F13) and the latest chipset drivers from AMD's website directly, which completely resolved the stutters/freezing while streaming.
