Windows 10: Antialiasing - MSAA Not Working In Any Games/Distance Shimmering

Hello, I've been getting this annoying issue on 3 of my Windows 10 systems lately...

2 are desktops and 1 is a gaming laptop... Area 51m to be exact with RTX 2070...

I can't figure out why the antialiasing looks so terrible now these days? Did NVIDIA do something or is this due to Windows 10? There's a lot of shimmering in the distance in all my video games. MSAA isn't working either. I've tried reinstalling the OS, reinstalling drivers, reseating graphics cards, swapping RAM sticks, changing settings... etc... I can't figure it out, it's so annoying!

The 3 systems are as follows:

Windows 10 20H2 19042.789
Maximus XII Formula/Area 51m R1/Z370F
10900K/9700K/8700K
GTX1080Ti/RTX2070/GTX1060
32GB DDR4/16GB DRR4/16GB DDR4

I've spoken about this issue with other people in regards to other games and they said they see the same problem so luckily it's not just me. I read that MSAA is being phased out by Windows 10 here:
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce...ndows-10-1703/

If that's true, that's really infuriating since a lot of older titles rely on MSAA.

Has anyone found a fix yet? Here's a video someone else posted showcasing the problem:

Thanks in advance.
