Defiance VII - Windows animation/choppy lag when show only on main desktop

[j_ly08]

I have a Defiance VII Geforce RTX 2070 Max-Q design working smoothly. I have connected a mini displayport to displayport from my laptop to my main Asus 144hz monitor.

I have a having a strange behaviour in that I get animation lag (such as dragging the Windows explorer and when watching YouTube videos). When I extend or duplicate these displays, it works very smooth. What is going on here? This is usually the opposite of the issues people experience.

I have tried the following:
- Set my preferred graphics processor as my Nvidia GPU (and integrated graphics), no difference.
- Disabled all windows animation and I still get choppy behaviour.
- Changed to a lower resolution and lower refresh rate, no difference.

Edit: Solved, please see below.

Immediately after posting this, I found the answer!

It was due to power options "fast start-up", disable this under Power Options > Choose what closing the lid does. Then give it a final reboot.

I have left this thread in case other people have this issues. Mod feel free to close/delete as you wish.

Thanks for leaving this up, and for posting the solution. Fast Startup is known to cause several issues on some motherboards, this issue is a new one on me though. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for you post. As soon as my notebook arrived I have noticed the lag in YouTube plays... After some drivers updates and general tweakings (not targeted to that problem) it went out.
As far I remember the fast boot caches some configs and drivers and( as is as I think the machine arrives with the initial non windows updated drivers) maybe now that everything is OK( probably after the first windows update) if you re- enable the fastboot the "lagginess" will not reappears.

What Fast Startup does is hibernate the Windows kernel even when you do a normal shutdown. Resuming the kernel is faster than doing a full load from disk.

The problem is that not only do some motherboards not play well with a resumed kernel but some drivers don't handle it well either.

With a decent SSD as your system drive fast Startup buys you very little, if anything.
