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.

    I have a very similar issue. After doing some digging, I found out a lot of LiveKernelEvent 141, 116, 117 in the Windows Applications Event Log when Edge is working with GPU acceleration. Although these error may indicate critical GPU, PSU or memory issues and often trigger BSOD, this does not crash my system and does not appear in the system viability index. It just really lead to stutter. It’s also not triggered outside edge, or when edge run without Hardware acceleration. Meanwhile, I’m off to the Firefox or Chromelands with hardware acceleration activated.

    I’m using a Optimus laptop with intel chip (i7-11800h) and nvidia 3080 mobile in case of anything.
