Windowed mode won't save at all, display jerky and stuttery??

[Shambler]

The usual broken-as-**** PC "port" from small, struggling, indie start-up developer From Software... (as usual mouse button rebinds broken, camera / mouse sensitivity is ridiculously low, there might be more).

Anyway see title. No matter what I try, the game won't save Windowed mode. It will set to windowed mode and as soon as I exit that bit of the menu it resets to fullscreen. I've googled forcing this, and the best option seemed to be hitting alt-enter, which doesn't actually show the game in windowed at all, but does seem to get Alt-tabbing working.... Then ofc I have to run SekiroFPSUnlocker to get borderless windowed to work.

Despite all this, the game has this weird stutter to the display (not to movement). It's running fine at 40-50fps, but it's like every 50th frame just pauses for a tiny split-second, not stopping gameplay but kinda annoying.

Is there any actual working way around this ****show?? I know it's going to be frustrating enough with all the bosses that the last thing I need is jumping through hoops to get it to run okay every single damn start-up.....

P.S. No, Borderless Gaming doesn't help as it needs the game in Windowed Mode initially....

There's a good mod you can install to unlock frame rate resolution and windowed mode. I've been playing at 100+21:9 windowed without a problem.

But I agree From Soft should do this from the start.

Which mod is that??

What bit of "Then ofc I have to run SekiroFPSUnlocker to get borderless windowed to work." did you miss in my initial post??

Right. In case anyone sees this and wants an actual possible solution instead of someone smugly suggesting to do the thing you've already bloody tried, an online friend helped me out by suggesting this: Go to C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Sekiro and open GraphicsConfig.xml with a text editor , and change FULLSCREEN to WINDOWED and set the file to Read Only. Then I ran Sekiro again and it forced it into Windowed mode and I was able to use SekiroFPSUnlocker for borderless. Seems a bit smoother too. If for some reason that .xml file reads as garbage, try deleting it and the game will recreate it.
