Download the Nvidia GeForce 398.86 hotfix driver as released by NVIDIA. It fixes Windowed G-Sync mode may stutter after upgrading to Windows 10 April 2018 Update
Game Ready Drivers provide the best possible gaming experience for all major new releases, including Virtual Reality games. Prior to a new title launching, our driver team is working up until the last minute to ensure every performance tweak and bug fix is included for the best gameplay on day-1. Please note: Effective April 2018, Game Ready Driver upgrades, including performance enhancements, new features, and bug fixes, will be available only on Kepler, Maxwell, Pascal and Volta series GPUs. Critical security updates will be available on Fermi series GPUs through January 2019. We have a discussion thread open on this driver here in our Nvidia driver discussion forums.
Fixes
- Windowed G-Sync mode may stutter after upgrading to Windows 10 April 2018 Update
This driver is available for Windows 10 64-bit solely.
A GeForce driver is an incredibly complex piece of software, We have an army of software engineers constantly adding features and fixing bugs. These changes are checked into the main driver branches, which are eventually run through a massive QA process and released. Since we have so many changes being checked in, we usually try to align driver releases with significant game or product releases. This process has served us pretty well over the years but it has one significant weakness. Sometimes a change that is important to many users might end up sitting and waiting until we are able to release the driver. The GeForce Hotfix driver is our way to trying to get some of these fixes out to you more quickly. These drivers are basically the same as the previous released version, with a small number of additional targeted fixes.

Using Windows 10 64-bit (1803) with G-sync here + SLI. Not seeing any problems so i won't need the hotfix

I like the hotfix drivers. It takes 2 mins to update your drivers.....
A hotfix again? It becomes a stable tradition.

You mean it seems that way with the stuttering bug? This makes no sense. G-Sync does the opposite, aids your frame rate.

Nvidia should consider allowing you download and install these hotfixes within geforce experience, this would be an awesome feature. Just a nice time saver, also because sometimes these hotfixes are pretty important and lots of people would miss out or not get them until the next full update.
I assumed this would already be a thing, but upon checking I was surprised it isn't (unless I'm a nob and can't find it).
