Latency question

Hi, I recently changed my system to win10 (;x;) and I would like to ask about latency aspect in osu.
Osu informs me that running osu at windowed mode will cause higher input lag.
Can someone explain me what kind of input lagg will be increased.
I read few articles and tested it by myself that fullscreen mode at win 7 caused higher input lag compared to window mode (due DX API) .
I'm not sure how it looks like on win10 since it has DX12 API which should reduce information path which of course should occur as lower input lagg.

BTW.
Win 7 Frame render time was 0.21ms constant on my pc. (window mode)
Win 10 Frame render time is 0.21-0.25ms. (window mode)
Win 10 Frame render time is 0.25-0.30ms (Fullscreen mode)
Conclusion: Fullscreen mode provides higher input lag compared to Window mode*.
* It seems that there is unsolved problem on game engine <> API <> Graphic driver engine path. I'm not sure how Fullscreen mode affects external device driver <>API <> Game engine path.
Peppy help, Regards.
BTW2. Windows10 seems to increase external device input lag regardless of fullscreen or window mode. Mouse input lagg increased from 1ms to 4ms. Raw input or absolute raw input including "Windows higher precision mouse mode" doesn't change anything in that case.

Did you enable letterboxing too?

Everything unnecessary is turned off incl. Graphic effects.

enable letterboxing, fullscreen, and disable rawinput
