Random stuttering since Patch 7.31

Since Patch 7.31 I've been experiencing random stuttering in game. Nothing triggers it as it happens in towns, standing still in my house, in dungeons big and small. I play on PS5 and have never had a single problem like this. On Sunday evening the problem disappeared when there was more people on but this morning when less were on the problem returned. After reaching out to the support team I was told to post here.
- Proper ports are open.
- System Cache has been cleared with the hard drive being rebuilt.
- System has been cleaned top to bottom.
- System memory had about 120GB free to assist with loading
- Cookies and Website data cleared
- All settings in game set to performance mode and little to no extra animation on other players.
- New HDMI cable being used

I've been seeing a few others say they have been having similar issues since the last patch.

I'm using a Wired connection, the stuttering happens at complete random. Sometimes it's once a few seconds, other times it's a few minutes. I only use one character on Hyperion. I don't get disconnected just large stuttering spikes. I'm using Astound Internet.

please turn off DSR

Did that still stuttering

I am having the same issues since 7.3 was released. Getting random, split second freezing/stuttering.
My fps drops around 20-30 fps for that split second, then immediately goes back to normal.
It disrupts crafting, any rotations on jobs, etc because it causes split second freeze of the game and buttons to not be pressed.
I haven't had this issue at all until 7.3 came out.

However, I do seem to have found a resolution that works for me. I play on PC. Not using Steam - just the normal PC client on Windows.
In Device Manager, I have disabled Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator. It's a legacy interface for serial ports, MIDI, etc.
No idea why this is the root cause, but disabling that completely resolved the random game stuttering every few minutes.

It won't help anyone on console, but this worked for me for PC.

Also the problem with the PS5 and it is not fun to play like this, even with a connected LAN cable I have this strange stuttering.
