Microsoft Edge stuttering on Windows 11 24H2

Windows 11 - Back in November, I have update my system to 24H2 version and, after it, I noticed that Edge (the browser that I use the most) was behaving very weird, like some kind of stuttering.

It happens when the hardware acceleartion is enabled; at first, the general usage (but mainly scrolling) feels normal, but after a few minutes it starts slowing, and then stutters a lot (by scrolling some web pages, which is the most noticeable way to identify).

It is fixed by disabling hardware acceleration.

Processor: Intel Core i5-1235U

iGPU*: Intel UHD Graphics*

Dedicated VRAM*: 128MB*

    Win 11 24H2 with KB5050094 installed: Microsoft Edge slow, laggy, mouse stuttering. No settings or repairs helped; however, installing Edge Beta Version 133.0.3065.31 (Official build) beta (64-bit) restored perfect performance - and note, Edge Version 132.0.2957.127 (Official build) (64-bit) continues to exhibit poor performance. See the Beta download page. Hope this helps someone - drove me crazy.

    Hello,

    So, I think I just identified what's exactly happening: when I use the PiP mode (picture-in-picture) to, for example, watch YouTube videos (usually), it suddenly slows donw, if disabled, it runs smoothly.

    The only way that fixes this issue is disabling hardware acceleration.

    I wanted to show a screen record here, but I'm not able to.

    Anyway, I'll be sending a feedback to notify the issue.

    Thanks for responding.

    In other words, Microsoft puts out **** that is not ready for prime time. I have had so many issues with 24h2 specific to a system with integrated graphics. It is a joke an seriously making me consider the switch to MacOS.

    I have this issue too, using an AMD 7900 XTX! It causes stuttering, and having the browser auto-start in the background on log-in was causing PC stutter without me even using Edge.

    Disabling hardware acceleration fixed the issue.

    An absolute joke.
