That server should be plenty fast in all regards. If it were on Linux.
For a short period of time I was running Plex, and later Jellyfin, on Windows with a low power Intel J4205 as my CPU. Whenever I played videos, even direct plays, Windows Defender hogged the CPU. Like 60% just for Windows Defender scanning what Jellyfin was doing. Because of this high CPU usage, and a slow-ish CPU, transcodes were out of the question. Doing ANYTHING else on the server caused Jellyfin to buffer.
I'm wondering if what you're experiencing is the same thing. Since watching via MPC-HC doesn't trigger the same Windows Defender behavior.
When you stream with Jellyfin, can you open Task Manager and monitor if the CPU usage spikes for Windows Defender?
