Windows 10 Stuttering with new update

Okay, so I updated to the latest version of windows last night, and discovered an issue IMMEDIATELY. Every few seconds my screen/audio/EVERYTHING stutters for a split second. It doesn't matter if I'm watching videos, playing games, not doing anything, it stutters. I've double, triple, quadruple checked that 100% of my drivers are fully up to date, and that I have all of the latest security and graphics updates and made sure nothing needed downloading or updated at all. It still stutters. I've tried absolutely every solution I could find on the internet. Still Stutters. 

Where things get interesting is when I roll back the update to the previous one. It works perfectly fine with absolutely no stuttering. I went back to the new update, and the stutter happened again. So it is definitely the update that is the issue. But just to be completely sure, and hoping to rid the issue, I factory reset my PC and then reinstalled the update. Surprise surprise,  the stutter happens.

So what in the heck is the issue!? And is anyone else experiencing this problem? I'm worried I might be stuck with it until another month or two from now when Microsoft does their next decent sized update, and I need to solve this problem ASAP.

Thanks!

    I've had this stutter/lag/pause (what ever it is) for a long time now. Have avoided it by pausing windows updates and using restore point but this last time I hoped windows update had corrected the problem so went ahead and updated. Big mistake. Not only did the problem reappear but it also deleted all my restore points so no going back. After days of searching for the answer thru all the support sources available I finally found the problem. It was the AMD graphics driver. Once it was replaced by the stock windows driver POOF problem gone.

    Heres the sequence and the source of the advice I got.

    Go to Device manager> Display device > Properties >Driver tab > Update Driver > Browse > Let Me Pick.      And pick basic microsoft driver.

    This is the guardian angel source for the advice-- https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/amd-radeon-r4-graphics-driver-causing-micro/370e4b78-c1fa-4180-b2c8-45a100e104b6

    Hope this helps others avoid the time consuming headache.

    Updated an older PC to Windows 10.  Started getting intermittent buzzes in the sound, video would stutter, and mouse would skip.  Visited lots of forums over the past month.   Got lucky and this worked for me.

    Changed the configurations of my drives in the BIOS from raid to ahci.  

    Searched for how to change controllers and found this.

    https://support.thinkcritical.com/kb/articles/switch-windows-10-from-raid-ide-to-ahci 

    Just changing the bios setting and starting windows, windows won't boot because the wrong driver is being loaded.  This changes next windows boot to be in safe mode.  Windows boots in safe mode and loads the drivers.  Restart as directed and Windows boots normally with the ahci drivers.

    Figured this out using latency monitor.  storport.sys showed high latency.  Reading around recommendation was to update drivers but everything was up to date using update driver and being an older PC there was nothing on manufacturers sites.

    Knew it was a driver issue and read somewhere i cant find now an offhand remark that the ahci drivers are updated more often than the raid drivers.  Tried it, got lucky and it worked.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks so much for replying!

    To answer #1: My build is 18362.175

    #2: My graphics card is a GTX 1060 from Zotac. My computer is custom built, and I don't quite know the specs of much else. I have 24 gb of ram, an Intel i7 970 CPU (3.2 GHz) and no clue my mother board. The actual computer was originally HP Pavilion Elite, but we significantly modified it, short of one of the hard drives

    #3: Yes, I have updated to the 1903 version.
