Mid-2019 Blade Advanced /w 2080 & OLED Issues

I've had my Blade now for over a month and there are a few issues I'd like to resolve if possible. I figured someone here might know.

Whenever I log in with an external display connected (seems to be any external display) there is a pretty good chance (~90%) that the desktop UI will be "skippy". It looks like frame dropping if it were a game. If I sign out of Windows and then sign back in, that usually fixes it, but it's annoying.

Occasionally, the entire system will slow to a grind as if some high priority process is running and consuming a bunch of CPU. This usually dissipates after about thirty seconds, but it affects everything, even people hearing me on Discord. I've gotten Task Manager open in time while it was happening a few times, but found no smoking guns.

Lastly, I'm currently using a USB-C external display and it works well most of the time. But sometimes, I plug the monitor into the Blade and the Blade acts as though the monitor is only a USB hub and not a display. Nothing short of doing a clean re-install of the GeForce drivers will fix this. And even then, it only lasts so long.

If you have any ideas or questions regarding my various first-world problems, I would be very pleased if you would reply on this thread. 😉
