Problem solved, if anyone has an Nvidia card uninstall Nvidia experience. That pos force installs itself with every driver update and it was the only thing truly different other than the patch itself from last week.

The NVidia drivers come bundled in a self extracting archive, which contains all that bloatware in excess of just the drivers. To prevent the driver installer from installing extra packages like NVidia Update, Geforce Experience, ShadowPlay, etc etc etc .... especially in the cases where the installer doesn't list options -- you can just unpack the self extracting archive (eg, with 7zip), delete the components you don't want, and then run 'setup.exe' manually.
--The best part of this is that it'll GUARANTEE that each component other than the drivers NEVER ends up on your system, by mistake or otherwise (by force).
Specifically, all these folders are safe to remove prior to an install:
Display.Optimus << if not a laptop / hybrid with Intel IGP
Display.Update
GFExperience
GFExperience.NvStreamC
GFExperience.NvStreamSrv
HDAudio << if you don't use HDMI
LEDVisualizer << if you don't care about illumination control (eg, Geforce 690)
MS.NET
Network.Service
NV3DVision << if you don't use stereoscopic
NV3DVisionUSB.Driver
NvVAD
PhysX
ShadowPlay
Update.Core
