UPDATE: 3-16-2021
When I do what I mention below the stutter goes away. HOWEVER, I am then unable to type in the search bar for Windows which is quite aggravating since I use the search bar a lot to find something quickly. So, I pick and choose for the day. Watching videos, streaming, editing and don't need the search bar? Then do below... NEED the search bar go back in and adjust the setting back to "3".
I have had constant stuttering with my keyboard, mouse, and video watching [youtube] on a dell desktop computer since I upgraded to Windows 10. It's ridiculously frequent. As a graphic designer and video editor it was maddening. After hours of trying to figure this out and pouring thru "solutions" offered by the forum here I found this answer and it has helped.

Here is exactly what I did based on the information I found on the link above:
- Right-click on the Start Menu Icon. Go to RUN and type regedit.exe and select OK.
Find the following entry by clicking thru the bread crumbs: [>]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TimeBroker] "Start"=dword:00000003
2. Right click on "Start"=dword:00000003" and click on MODIFY
Change the 3 to a 4.
NOTE: Before editing, the original value was 3. Set to 4 to disable. Just change the 3 to a 4
3. exit regedit and reboot your system.
No more stutter for me... works for now. For more information on what Time Broker does before you change this setting look it up online. Hope this helps.
You can also try this suggestion to see if it helps in the BEFORE changing the setting in the registry:
