Problem details:
At the beginning of the game, there is one microfreeze. It affects accuracy and causes discomfort.

I encounter this problem in Windows 10 in osu!mania mode on some maps, where the gameplay starts immediately without an introduction.
Examples of such maps:

1. beatmapsets/971561
2. beatmapsets/994104
3. beatmapsets/1978179
4. beatmapsets/456054
5. beatmapsets/2212044

Various graphics settings have no effect.
Skin settings has no effect.
The "Storyboard / video" setting has no effect.

I also rebooted and ran the game on Ubuntu 24.04, but the bug was not reproduced there. (But I'm not sure. 180Hz monitor behaves like 45Hz in Ubuntu and the bug is hard to detect)

Video or screenshot showing the problem:

osu! version: Laser (latest)
Windows 10 22H2 19045.5608 (latest)

i know exactly what you mean, i've had the same problem for years across every gamemode even in stable
however if you could provide a video of some kind showing the stutter properly it'd help the devs get behind the problem quicker

OBS Studio was only able to record at 120 fps:

Do you play with any universal/local offset? All of the audio drivers and software are up-to-date? Any sound enhancements on those audio drivers?

I have not changed any offset settings.

The computer was bought a month ago.
The system is clean and the drivers automatically check for updates.

There are no custom settings in the drivers.
