**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

[yashiro]

Have you updated the motherboard bios? Modern UEFI bios are terrible at recognising new devices that aren't on their internal table.

Not sure what Windows Update is playing at but it updated my drivers which were the latest to 378.78 which are old.

Yeah i've done that and tried again uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and still reporting as a 980Ti

Contemplating wiping windows and trying again as updated bios after fresh windows install. Its got me stumped!!!

It does this to me but only if i don't have a later nVidia drivers installed.

If installing a fresh windows or if for whatever reason you don't have later driver installed its best to unplug your Ethernet cable, the very first thing windows does is check for GPU drivers, i will down load them just seconds after logging on, its very invasive and persistent.

It will ignore your instructions, the only thing to do is download the drivers you want before installing windows new, when installing windows do it without it being connected to the internet, install your own GPU drivers, reboot and then reconnect the cable.

Forced automatic driver updates are the worst decision ever - sadly most people are like "what is the fuss?" until they have to deal with it themselves.

I had the latest drivers installed, Windows update just decided in its wisdom to install really old drivers instead. Not sure why, anyway I just reinstalled the current drivers again and its fine.

Disconnect the internet and removing all mention of nvidia drivers from the PC and rebooting only showed microsoft basic display drivers, then i installed nvidia drivers and we have success. It is now displaying the correct card

Thanks guys. I wouldnt have thought of that as never had an issue before!!!

Anyone having issues with youtube videos running slow, when full screen mode with latest drivers?
Reverted back to older drivers and videos are fine.

You can use DDU to disable Windows automatically updating the drivers.

or much safer way than using registry edits use group policy the preferred way & correct way by MS for corporations

The GPOs don't work anymore and I believe all DDU does is the registry edit which for the average home user is much safer than using regedit.

You don't have to uninstall or run DDU, just open it up and disable updates.

the GPOs do work.
I have an Office of 60+ Workstations with 750Ti's & 1060's which were upgrading themselves. After rolling out GP they no longer upgrade without my permission. it works & its the correct way of doing things. even Programs editing the registry can be dangerous, but yes its better than any body doing it. GP is their for a reason & should be used if available.

 

[ChrisD.]

Something must have changed then as the last I read in this thread was that they don't.

 

[TNA]

Never had this issue with AMD or Nvidia.

Are they on the home version or a business/enterprise version?
I will say win 10 has never installed a nvidia driver for me for w/e reason even when i've been driver or 2 behind Nvidia's current offering
