Bought a new laptop, and dealing with this rather irritating issue when using the netflix app on windows 10. Any time you try to skip through netflix (whether it be skipping the credits, or skipping to a certain time) the video will lag every few seconds (every time!) - soundtrack does not lag, just the video. Tried different drivers to no avail. I have searched online, but yet to come across a working fix.
Does anyone have any experience with this? and found anything that works?
Would be forever grateful!

Uploaded a sample on youtube so you can see the exact issue:

I think all anyone could say here is this:

the netflix app works for most people as designed, thus you're running into an issue where you need to ensure everything is updated, app and windows, and that you don't have a lot of background programs open. reinstall the app, and you could even reinstall windows. close AV and see if the problem still happens. whats the difference between your machine and a brand new machine they tested it on? one of the differences is causing this.

you could try watching it in the web browser as well, but you could already have your reasons for not doing that.

try downloading VLC player (installs a bunch of codecs that can fix this)
