I don't see anything obvious in your DCS log, but this:

2025-01-25 04:49:33.113 WARNING EDCORE (Main): hypervisor is active
  ...
2025-01-25 04:49:33.113 WARNING EDCORE (Main): CPU HAS PARKED LOGICAL CORES (this can be source of stuttering and reduced performance especially on hybrid CPUs with P/E-cores)

Warning 1#: Check this thread (and don't forget the second page).

Warning #2: Try unparking all of your CPU cores The former MT bug with modern CPUs is no more. If you had tweaked your CPU because of this bug, try the previous, normal, setting.

 

Your DxDiag log shows several blue screens. You might want to check your RAM.

I ran a repair and DCS seems to work fine, I haven’t seen the problem repeat. The game runs really well with no stuttering etc. 

The only settings change I made recently was changing Low Latency Mode to Ultra from Off in NCP. I can’t imagine that would cause the problem above though, would it?

Doesn’t Windows High Performance Power plan already disable core parking? I don’t mess with this or something like Process Lasso currently. And doesn’t DCS (or Windows) anutomatically assign itself to the P-cores?

It could, yes. According to what I read,  this setting has various results depending on the game and the PC.

I had a brain fart about parking/unparking cores. Simply ensure you let Windows run your CPU as usual, especially if you had to tweak Windows when that messy MT bug was around.

You are right: High Performance power plan means no core-parking.

Anyway, now that your DCS runs fine, don't touch anything. Come back here if the issue returns.
