In game viewing is distorted with movements (win10)

So ive been on windows 7 using my rift with no issues since January.
After reading about how windows 10 is a better environment for VR in
general I decided to let go of my disdain for the OS and upgrade. Since
Ive switched to windows 10 when im in game things are really distorted.
This is very noticeable with head movement as some objects/textures look
like a smear tool was ran over them for a moment. The play area ring
that is around me actually jitters like a heart monitor. Ive tried to
screenshot the issue but the distortion effect does not show up in the
screenshots. Im thinking it could be this Asynchronous Timewarp thing I
read about. But I guess you cant disable that so im not able to test. If
someone can help me out here Id really appreciate it because as it is
it makes VR really unplayable right now. (I also have latest bios firmware and usb drivers with this issue). Note I never had this issue on
windows 7, and hardware stayed the same.

Someone on reddit suggested I try step b of this https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/wiki/touch_360_roomscale tutorial but i get this error:

 There was an error while applying the power policy change.

You could use the Oculus debug tool to disable the asynchronous timewarp temporarily.
C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-diagnostics
Just change the setting there...this resets every time you launch home i believe, but you can shortcut to it if needed...or you can try the third party Oculus Tray Tool to manage the settings.
Also, I saw a quite detailed post the other day about the Power Policy...but it was all a bit beyond my humble PC skills lol...but a quick forum search should find it.
Good luck.
