NVIDIA acknowledges 10%+ CPU usage driver bug after exiting games

Well no I didn't fail to read it, I actually did read it which is why I posted it because it was funny. Perhaps you forgot to read it properly though! The AMD issue could corrupt your WIndows, the Nvidia issue just does a BSOD/high CPU use. Both are bad, one is considerably more bad than the other, no prizes for guessing which is which. I'm unaffected by either issue, only install Studio drivers as mentioned before.Wow, you couldn’t even bother reading your own linked image.

always find its hilarious when its a Nv issue, its a nothing issue, but when its an AMD issue, its end of the world.as far as im concerned both companies are utter dicks
The amd driver corrupts your windows install good game. The Nvidia issue causes cpu usage to be a little bit high for a few minutes woop. If you think these issues are on the same level you need to reevaluate your bias

If that is the case it's really more down to user error or incompetence...
Or if Windows is updating without making users aware, then it is MS to blame...
Not uncommon for Windows update and other background tasks which lack real world context awareness but still act executively to conflict with user actions.
Windows updates have become extremely intrusive with each new version of windows and windows 11 is known to download updates that screw up your pc that you can't stop, I would know because it keeps trying to download an amd driver that screws up my screens and windows 11 refuses to give me the option to stop it or prevent it, daddy microsoft knows best

MS never take ownerships of the mistakes they make no matter how serious.
Although, it is kind of ironic that way back when Nvidia drivers cause a lot of crashes (during Millennium Edition AFAIR) and MS took the blame!

I found I had this bug at the weekend, maxing out one of my cores and did install the hotfix for it, all good now. Saved me having to reboot.. logic in there somewhere
