I've installed the new nVidia driver 430.39. It is now once again allowing madVR to switch HDR mode. It has also rectified the long lingering audio problem - Multi channel vs stereo auto switch dependent on AVR state on and off.
As expected, nVidia no longer supports 3D. It has been completely removed from the driver install. So far I have installed 3D vision from an older driver. I get a notice that 3D vision does not match the new graphics driver after installing it. I also ran the 3D .reg file in madVR. The 3D option no longer shows up in Windows display properties or NCP. I did attempt to play a 3DMVC.iso in PowerDVD. 3D mode does not engage. I also tried MPC-BE. It displays some strange SBS and then does engage 3D mode. This is a frame packed MVC iso. It shouldn't go into SBS mode imo.
I don't want to spend anymore time fussing with this new driver and I will be reverting back to 416.81 video drivers. Instead of editing those drivers and applying the 388.59 audio driver (bug free) as I've been doing in the past, I will be attempting to use the newer 430.39 audio driver which at this time appears to also be bug free. This combo will update me to the newest working audio and video drivers that meet my demands.
Feel free to post your results and workarounds if any.
*Edit*
The audio bug still exists using the 430.39 driver. It doesn't survive a reboot. I will be using 388.59 audio driver with 416.81 video driver as usual.

I followed the guide to enable playing ISO files on my Windows HTPC, but I am running into an issue where the ISO file isn't actually being mounted, so MPC-HC continues to error out "cannot render file" and I don't see the ISO being mounted in the Windows Explorer either. Here is the BAT file and the PCF file respectively. Please take a look and let me know where the issue is:
PCF file:
<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="isoPlayer" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Users\XYZ\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\PlayISO.bat</filename>
<args>"{1}"</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
<forceontop>false</forceontop>
<playcountminimumtime>1140</playcountminimumtime>
</player>
<player name="MPC-HC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe</filename>
<args>"{1}" /fullscreen /close</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
<forceontop>false</forceontop>
<playcountminimumtime>1140</playcountminimumtime>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule filetypes="iso" player="isoPlayer"/>
<rule filetypes="mkv|avi|bdmv|mpls|m2ts" player="MPC-HC"/>
<rule internetstream="true" player="VideoPlayer"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>
PlayISO.bat file:
Set file=%1
Set dummy=%file:iso=%
IF NOT %dummy% == %file% (GOTO playiso) ELSE (goto next)
:next
Set file=%1
Set dummy=%file:mpls=%
IF NOT %dummy% == %file% (GOTO plaympls) ELSE (goto playbdmv)
:playiso
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Elaborate Bytes\VirtualCloneDrive\VCDMount.exe" /d=0 %1
"C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\3D Vision\nvstlink.exe" /enable
timeout /t 3
"C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe" A:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\3D Vision\nvstlink.exe" /disable
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Elaborate Bytes\VirtualCloneDrive\VCDMount.exe" /d=0 /u
GOTO end
:plaympls
set pth=%1
set pth=%pth:~1,-25%
"C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe" "%pth%" exit
GOTO end
:playbdmv
set pth=%1
set pth=%pth:BDMV\MovieObject.bdmv=%
set pth=%pth:BDMV\index.bdmv=%
"C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe" %pth% exit
GOTO end
:end
exit
Where am I going wrong? Please help.

Just posting to see what folks, who're using & need to use, the latest Nvidia drivers are planning to do for 3D for PowerDVD?
My HTPC doubles as an HTPC/Gaming Rig, with RTX 2080 Ti, therefore I have to use the latest Nvidia Drivers. 3D was obviously removed.
I have 3D ISO rips I playback in PowerDVD and only need 3D on Windows 10 for PowerDVD.
Does anyone with similar needs as mine have any solutions or alternates they have come across?
Thanks!

Download the two driver installers and unzip them. I use WinRAR. Swap the HDAudio folder for the one you want. Then run the install.exe file.
