streaming stutter

About this tag
The streaming stutter tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about audio and video stuttering, lag, and frame drops in streaming workflows, particularly those using NDI (Network Device Interface) over RUDP (Reliable UDP) transport. Recent threads focus on a regression introduced by Microsoft's August 2025 cumulative updates (including Windows 11 KB5063878) that causes severe stuttering and choppy playback in NDI-based streaming applications like OBS.

The tag is relevant for broadcasters, streamers, and IT professionals experiencing streaming stutter after recent Windows updates.
