Buzzing noise on Apple Studio Display with Windows PC: Power Saver workaround but with trade-offs

I’m sharing this in case it helps others — and hoping the community (or Apple) has a better solution.

I’m using an Apple Studio Display with a Windows PC, and I was experiencing a constant buzzing / electrical noise coming from the display. The noise was especially noticeable during normal use and was driving me crazy.

After a lot of trial and error (days of testing), I tried everything:

• Updating GPU drivers
• Updating Windows
• Updating firmware where possible
• Changing cables and ports
• Power cycling devices
• Disabling audio devices
• Adjusting refresh rates and resolutions
• BIOS checks
• Windows sound and power settings

👉 The only thing that actually reduced the buzzing was changing the Windows power plan:

• From High Performance
• To Power Saver

This significantly reduced (almost eliminated) the buzzing noise from the Apple Studio Display.

BUT — this introduces a new problem:

• Network speed and overall system performance drop noticeably
• Wi-Fi throughput is much lower
• System feels slower compared to High Performance or Balanced

So it feels like a workaround, not a real fix.

Summary:

• ✅ Power Saver → buzzing noise mostly gone
• ❌ Power Saver → lower system & network performance

Has anyone found:

• A way to keep Balanced or High Performance without the buzzing?
• A specific Windows / driver / USB-C / Thunderbolt setting that fixes this properly?
• Confirmation if this is a known Apple Studio Display + Windows power management issue?

Posting this to help others who are stuck — this was the only change that made a difference after extensive testing — but I’d really like a proper solution without sacrificing performance.
