NEW DRIVERS MAKE YOUTUBE AND DISCORD LAG WHILE PLAYING GAME

So I am facing a huge problem with the new rx580 drivers. The problem is with the new drivers. When I play a game (planet coaster) the game runs fine but discord screen sharing and a youtube video will lag. I have three monitors. Last time I had this issue I re-installed windows and that rolled the drivers all the way back. You see games used to run at a slightly lower FPS (About 10 less) and other programs like discord and youtube would run smoothly. With the new drivers yes the game is (+10fps) faster however the youtube videos are un-watchable and screen sharing flickers. However in games like dirt rally with old drivers it would lag but new drivers it's fine.  Please help me solve this issue thanks

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I believe this issue has existed since Windows 10 update 1803 and still exists in 1809. Disable freesync and reset PC was a workaround that used to work in windows version 1803 but no longer works in 1809.
