A recent Windows 11 update broke a popular streaming method on OBS but a temporary fix is now here

Recent reports indicate that users of OBS for streaming, particularly with multiple PCs, are experiencing severe stuttering, lag, and choppy audio/video following the Windows 11 Version 24H2 update (OS build 26100.4946) released on August 12. Streamers have expressed their frustrations on forums regarding sudden lag and frame drops affecting their NDI streams. As a temporary solution, NDI suggests changing the NDI Receive Mode to TCP or UDP instead of the default RUDP, which requires downloading the NDI Tools pack and making adjustments on both computers. Microsoft is investigating the issue and further updates are expected.

Microsoft admits that Windows and NDI are not getting along

Microsoft has acknowledged a complication from the Windows 11 August 2025 Security Update that affects streaming applications, causing "severe stuttering, lag, and choppy audio/video" when using the Network Device Interface (NDI). This issue impacts popular streaming software like OBS and NDI Tools, particularly when the 'Display Capture' feature is activated. The problem affects various Windows versions, including Windows 11 24H2, Windows 10 22H2, and Windows 10 21H2, and is rooted in the Reliable User Datagram Protocol (RUDP). Microsoft suggests switching to TCP or standard UDP as a workaround or uninstalling the update, though the latter carries risks. Users who have not yet installed the update are advised to postpone installation until a resolution is provided, but no timeline for a fix is currently available.
