I went to the Microsoft store for an Answer Desk appointment. I was able to reproduce the performance issues on every Surface Book in the store, including the non-demo units they had without the demo image. It's got to be a bug in Creators. If you have a Surface Book with creators you can reproduce it too. Create multiple desktops, open a different UWP app on each one (heavier apps will be worse, so Edge, Groove, Store, and Mail work well to reproduce it) and then switch desktops. You'll have slow, stuttering animations.
I tried rolling back the Nvidia update but, as you'd expect, it didn't change anything. The tech at the Microsoft store tried installing the Intel GPU driver direct from Intel and it didn't change anything. I'm left with the decision to either keep the system and see if they get an update out or get a different system that doesn't have this issue. I tested Dell, HP, and Razer systems and they didn't have the same problem.
