    If I were you at this point, not far away from Anniversary update, I would do clean install, leave everything default. After that, 1 tweak at a time, then sfc /scannow until you find out what is causing your problems, yes I know it will take awhile, but you must find out before Anniversary Update, you don't have too, but I would.:p
    or,1,2,3, above, then 1 tweak at a time-sfc, until you find out whats causing errors, start with video driver tweak-sfc, don't stop checking when you find error, you may have a bunch, you have to find out what's good and bad. But also keep in mind, what works now may not in new upcomming new AU, so have a nice weekend, lol

    1. Extract Nvidia driver package and delete everything that resembles bloat, so were left with just the drivers and PhysX, copy that to USB stick.
    2. Wipe drives.
    3. Install OS with Net disconnected
    4. Disable Windows Update Service.
    5. Manually install Updates
    6. Manually install all system drivers
    7. Install what's left of Nvidia driver package.
    8. Install all software/Apps
    9. Tweak the hell out of everything, blocking all driver and app updates.
    10. Connect & activate.
    11. Enable either MFAA or DSR
    12. Enjoy a perfectly stable system

    Its something else?

    1. If I enable DSR and MFAA, I get Bad Stub Data errors
    2. If I do not enable DSR and MFAA, I do NOT get Bad Stub Data
    3. NVidia has already reproduced the problem

    I must be the only person capable of reasoning in this entire thread because 1+2+3 concludes that the problem is with NVidia drivers 100000000%.

    I do remove ALL that junk and leave only 4 folders in driver package - Display Driver, Audio Driver, NVI2 (necessary, not sure what for), and PhysX. I ALWAYS perform a DDU clean from within Safe Mode and use Custom + Clean driver install.

    Did you try only DSR ?

    I read somewhere that this would work for most people and only some people have issues with MFAA enabled additionally.

    If you have SLI, then you lost the MFAA-Option already awhile ago, but DSR still doesn't give me any issues.

    I didn't know about the Driver Package extraction. Thank you very much for that tip.
