Bug Report OBS video stutters after Windows 10 upgrade

Hello everyone,

I recently made the switch to Windows 10, but I'm having a lot of problems with OBS after doing so. I'm on a laptop with an Nvidia 840M and Intel 4600 working in tandem. I was using OBS without any problems on Windows 8.1 before, with the same settings.

My problem is that my local video captures turn out to be very stuttery with a lot of duplicated frames in the files. I just can't get a smooth video, whereas I'm getting great FPS in my games. I'm using Quicksync but X264 makes no difference either.

Here's my log: https://gist.github.com/f28a1f620d9d692cbb23

I tried OBS Studio as well and it has exactly the same problem. The ONLY solution is enabling Multiple Adapter Compatibility in the source settings, but I lose a lot of FPS while doing so and it makes the game unplayable.

To my surprise, I installed MSI Afterburner to cross-check and it captures perfectly using the Quicksync encoder without any noticeable FPS loss. Here's a comparison:

OBS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06YWUQ9VjGg

What I've tried so far:
  1. Updating my drivers to latest (especially Nvidia and Intel)
  2. Running games in Windows 8 compatibility mode
  3. Running OBS in Windows 8 compatibility mode.
  4. Trying different encoders.
  5. OBS and the game is running on the same adapter.
I don't mind using MSI Afterburner instead of OBS, but I'd also like to be able to stream games occasionally and I like OBS a lot more.

Any help is appreciated. I think I've tried e
