When I disable both, I also receive the prompt for Sliverlight. If I disable Windows DRM, the Amazon Prime video will not load. If I have both default of if I disable Widevine DRM, the video plays, but each time it adjusts the resolution the image jumps and then fills the screen. It seems that for a frame or two it shows the old resolution in the window that has been resized to the higher resolution so there is a black boarder to the right and below the video. This is most visible when it finally makes the jump from HD to HD 1080p. There used to be a third DRM (second PlayReady) flag, but this no longer appears. It never seemed to have an effect when enabled or disabled on my system.

 

I have tested this on two different computers and on the current released Windows and the most recent Fast Track Insider version. I see the same behavior on both systems.
