Nvidia drivers have not been very stable lately. We don't recommend updating if your current driver is working good.

You can use Nvidia Profile Inspector to optimize driver settings for video playback with MPC-HC. This download contains an optimized application profile for MPC-HC.

If you have an RTX card and you get stuttering playback with madVR, then uncheck the "present several frames in advance" option in the rendering section of madVR settings.

Windows 10 May 2019 Update (version 1903)

Thursday May 23rd 2019

A tip for those who have already updated to the latest build of Windows. Some things are reset to default values when installing big Windows updates.

We therefore recommend to run the (latest version of the) K-Lite installer again to re-apply your preferred settings. It is not needed to uninstall first. If you have made any additional customizations with the Codec Tweak Tool, then you may need to redo those tweaks as well.

The codec pack has already been tested on 1903 long ago and it is fully compatible.
