I've found a solution that has fixed this error for me. I am using an Nvidia GPU.

From the Nvidia Control Panel check that Global 'Max Frame Rate' is set to OFF. This is in 'Manage 3D settings'/'Global Settings' TAB. Turn it off and set it for individual applications/games instead using the 'Program Settings' TAB.

My guess is that some changes were made to 3D acceleration from the 16.2.x versions onwards
