I use the popular MPC-HC + LAV Filters + madVR + ReClock (latest versions of each, latest ReClock beta) combination for my HTPC and up until Windows 10 Creator's Update it worked wonderfully when I used my videocard's (GTX 1080) 23.970Hz refresh rate for my TV to play native BD 23.976p content. My TV can do 23Hz (23.970Hz), 24Hz (24000Hz), 29Hz, 30Hz, 59Hz, 60Hz. I always used 1080p23 setting in madVR for BD content and with ReClock madVR stats reported dropped/delayed frame maybe every 2-3 hours, but I don't recall frames ever dropped or being delayed.
After I cleanly installed the new Windows 10 Pro x64 Creator's Update on freshly formatted SSD, I started seeing many dropped/repeated frames and glitches with settings that always produced none of those issues. This affected only Exclusive Fullscreen mode with ANY settings (including frame-ahead settings) in madVR during playback of normal 1080p 23.976p content on my 1080p HDTV at 23.970Hz, but there were no frame drops/repeats or glitches on my 120Hz monitor in Exclusive Fullscreen mode! Window mode (or non-exclusive Fullscreen mode) was not affected.
On my TV at 23.970Hz it would always show "1 dropped/repeated frame every 5-30 seconds" regardless of madVR, ReClock (official or beta), LAV Filters (official or nightly) or MPC-HC x86 (official or nightly) settings. I mean I tried many MANY settings in madVR and ReClock and none did anything helpful, although I noticed that ReClock would always say it is using CINEMA 24p/24Hz adaptation for regular/normal 23.976p content and it oddly detected my 23.970Hz refresh rate as 24.000Hz for hardware display. I don't remember if that was the case before.
I figured that maybe the issue is in refresh rates and I finally fixed this issue for Exclusive Fullscreen by removing 1080p23 entry from madVR as a possible refresh rate (even though my TV shows 23Hz, 24Hz, 29Hz, 30Hz, 59Hz, and 60Hz for possible refresh rates) and leaving 1080p24 (24.000Hz) at the lowest possible refresh rate to be used for 23p/24p content. Now it says "1 frame drop every 2-3 hours", even at very-high quality GPU-demanding settings). I don't know what this means, but if you suddenly find yourself in a similar situation, see if using 24.000Hz instead of 23.970Hz solves the issue.
NVidia just released new drivers (381.62) with official support for Creator's Update, so something must have changed with Creator's Update, but the new NVidia drivers did not resolve the dropped frames at 23.970hz and using 24.000Hz is still necessary for smooth playback.
