hardware acceleration; i tried to switch off hardware acceleration in windows 10 64bit 1803, you cannot !! .. how ?? it sucks !!! Any registry tweaks? -F
Thanks for helping out, but that's exactly the issue: I saw that windows club page, but pressing F5 does nothing, pressing 'Personalize' gives me another page, see below, and the display (settings) page in control panel is missing, seems to be a general complaint since the latest updates, see lowest pic. F
PS i ran DISM and SFC in safe mode: no errors ....
PS what i was after is the ever returning occasional audio stuttering, and i found this regedit fix for AMD radeon GPU cards, and it a similar tweak also seems to work for NVDIA cards. Testing it now:

Performance Tip for AMD GPU users for stutter/lag
Microstuttering and laggy playback is an all-too-known issue with any gaming system, and some good people on the net have come up with a possible issue with AMD installs:
AMD installs a service to write to the Event Log called ATIeRecord. If your event logs are huge and/or fragmented, then this service will record while you are gaming, and the recording lag from bad fragmented system files will hammer your performance with lags and stutters.
Since your initial right click on the desktop doesn't offer 'Display Settings' as an option (and you appear to have instead selected Personalize) ..
Your actual Display Settings may be moved to under the Graphic Options, Graphic Properties, or possibly NVidea Control Panel selections; in other words it may be something device specific affecting that initial right-click menu.
Reference your first image above which shows the mentioned options as a possible location for this setting.
