I made a post about this earlier, but it is old so creating a new post.
I have been running windows 7 for the past several months without any issues. But i thought these stuttering bugs had been fixed so i installed windows 10 again. But nope, still as bad as it was before and i see there's several other threads about the same issue.
I also went on the insider builds and installed 14342 rs1 as i was hoping that might fix it, but nope again.
See that Lantencymon is being used be several people, so i'm doing just that atm.
I have installed the windows 10 drivers for lan, chipset, audio driver from the msi website here.
Support For Z97M-G43 | MSI Global | Motherboard - The world leader in motherboard design
And i'm also using afterburner, Intel RST and Intel management engine driver.
Edit:
Looks like this after 10+ min.
Here's a link to the other thread in case you want to see that.

Here's a video of the problem.
And specs are.
Hi, many threads on this topic- here's a current one.

Like this you seem to have a problem with ndis.sys.
Please have a read thru that including my collection of threads if you've not seen it- hope that helps somewhat.
Each person needs to investigate their own situation- there's no complete one-size fits all solution alas.
As mentioned by others, the lan driver. I have already updated them to latest 10.008, didn't change anything. But, the good thing is, that at least now i know what the problem is.
From what i can gather, ndis.sys is a microsoft file, not realtek even tho it is network related, right?
True. What we're relying on is reports of other people's experience:

99% of the time we’ve seen that incompatible Wi-fi adapters have been the source of the issue......."Here is a shortcut list of what we’ve seen in the past that may help you narrow it down.
ndis.sys= network or wi-fi adapters. Try disabling Wifi and network adapters in device manager
(diagnostic, just to check if disabling the drivers has a significant effect as a first step)
Note: Win 10 seems more prone to this problem than previous editions: where the PC is sold as compatible with Win 10, you should be safe- where it's older or custom, that's another matter of course.
Going to mark it as solved. Not because the problem is solved, but because we've located the problem, however, there is no fix for it, yet.
I've been bugged by annoying, random stutters and glitches when simply listening to audio since installing Windows 10 on my laptop. I already had an idea that WiFi was likely to be somewhere in the cause of it happening, but after disabling it to hear if it solved the problem, it still kept happening.Hi, many threads on this topic- here's a current one.

I'd tried updating the media players I'd tried using, looked into driver issues etc, but had no luck. What's worse is the fact I'm actually a musician and run Sony Sound Forge and Acid Studio on this laptop, stopping me from being able to edit and carry out work effectively (the problem being more apparent in Sound Forge!). Now here's the odd thing. I expected it to be even worse when I run Acid Studio, but instead, I've had absolutely no glitches or stutters at all whilst running that program! I know this isn't something of a solution, but I thought it might be worth mentioning in case anyone out there has a knowledge of audio engines and it might spark some kind of logical thought leading to help fix things? I don't know. Anyway, thanks for reading.
I know this sounds weird but if it works for you great. I tried all the suggestions here and elsewhere including the compilation doc someone posted. No luck. My PC is wired ethernet so I didn't pay any attention to the suggestion about changing the wifi polling speed. But after reading the comments several times I started thinking... the one thing I changed before this started happening...I turned on Guest Wifi while I had company. So I went into the router and disabled guest wifi. Problem solved.
Now I know this seems entirely unrelated especially since the problem occurred while playing local movie files on the PC, not streaming. It could be a complete coincidence and it just happened to clear up as a result of all the stuff I tried and happened to resolve itself right when I turned off guest wifi. No idea, but the problem did go away right when I turned it off so there it is.
