Just tested KodiSetup-20180525-8a6c6c70-master-x64 on my desktop (Win10 x64, Nvidia 1080Ti) and that's gone from an unwatchable stuttery mess with DXVA2 acceleration enabled to dropping/skipping zero frames. I'll swap one of the NUCs back from LibreElec to Win10 over the weekend some time and try that too. Nice work!

I remembered I had some Acronis backups of the NUCs when they were still on Win10 so it only took a few minutes to revert back and install the new nightly - confirmed fixed on an Intel NUC on Win10 1709 x64 too!
Popy, if you mean refresh rate, you now need to whitelist your resolutions in the System section otherwise everything will output at your default (usually 60Hz). For most TVs, you should be able to whitelist 24Hz, 30Hz, 50Hz and 60Hz.
The only remaining problem now is PVR deinterlacing, still doensn't look right under Windows.

Hm, I'm getting mixed results now. After everything looked ok in a portable install of the latest nightly, I installed it properly and tested on my TV (was testing on the monitor before) but I'm back to the terrible stuttering again now. I was on the next-to-latest Nvidia driver so updated to the new one with no improvement.
On the test NUC, everything looked fine with Win10 1709 but I just did a clean install of 1803 and the new nightly - back to stuttering again. Further investigation required

Popy, looks like I have the same result as you on the desktop 1080Ti system - when I'm outputting to my monitor (which displays everything at 60Hz) everything looks OK. When I switch to my TV, which lets refresh rate switching kick in, it's the same terrible stutter as before at 24Hz.
I need to do some more testing with the NUC.

Hasn't Popy supplied lots of logs for this issue already?

Not with the latest version where he shortly said: it's fixed.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.
