Windows 10: Specific issues after v2004 update -- ClearType text is NOT being displayed properly.

Initially posted this as a comment in the megathread, but figured it'd get burried... so here i am. It didn't happen immediately upon initial boot into v2004, however there was a further, .NET update that needed to be run and also required a reboot. When the machine came back up this morning, I've been presented with icons and text that looks horrendous. It's everywhere. I thought perhaps I may have an issue with ClearType, but ran through that process and everything seems to check out okay. I also looked into scaling options, to see if that was somehow adjusted from 100%, but no dice.

I'm running 2560x1440 which is the native resolution of my display(s) and these are my results now: https://i.imgur.com/PIxPesS.png

Any suggestions. Intel Graphics Command Center and nVidia Control Panel were two new applications that were installed as part of the update process. If i've failed to provide further relevant information, please just say the word -- happy to oblige. Otherwise, the upgrade process went quite well. Eager to dig into these changes a bit more, but i'll be blind by the end of the day trying to read this janky text everywhere. Help! Thanks, yer nice.

Everything worked perfectly yesterday and I've been using this machine for ~3 years without problems of this nature. I'm not sure where to start... who is at fault here? Intel? nVidia? Microsoft.
