Weirdly these give me a black screen issue, So when I close/minimise a program I get a black screen for 1-2 seconds.

No issues here, but this was from another person giving feedback ^
 
Only had one "issue" in the last decade + with Nvidia drivers and even then may not have been drivers at all but the game.

That was turning frame gen on in Pragmata was causing the game to crash when it first released.

Hi all, I've had an issue with driver since 610.88. Anything newer causes a black screen as it installs, which doesn't go away on restart. PC boots as normal, just zero display once Windows starts. Reinstalling 610.88 and all fine. I have a 5090 driving a 57" 7680 x 2160 monitor. It's looking like the last driver is a buggy mess but I'm wondering if I am missing an easy fix here?

Well the latest driver is just a certification of the hotfix we just had

However, i'd stay on the 610.88 for now as there are numorus problems cropping up on the Guru3D/Nvidia forums again

Looks like 616.92 brings no gaming fixes at all, so unfortunately the problems introduced with the 616.xx branch are still not fully addressed.

NVIDIA officially lists Assassin’s Creed Shadows as a known issue (6685219), along with Judgment/Lost Judgment/Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. failing to launch.
Regarding GTA V Enhanced, I’ve seen that mentioned as well.

There are also user reports of crashes with other games that NVIDIA currently does not list as confirmed issues, including Crimson Desert and The Witcher 3 DX12. So the official known-issues list probably shouldn't be taken as a complete list of every game that may be having problems with this driver branch.

Crimson Desert in particular seems interesting, as there are several reports of crashes appearing after installing 616.56 and disappearing again after rolling back to 610.88.

AC Shadows is the one I can personally confirm. I was getting random CTDs on 616.56, often around fast travelling. Rolling back to 610.88 completely solved it for me, and I've been running that driver without those crashes since.

What is particularly telling is that NVIDIA now specifically describes the AC Shadows issue as occurring “after updating to driver 616.56.” So at least that one is clearly acknowledged as a regression introduced with this branch.

For now 616.92 gives me no reason to move away from 610.88. Hopefully NVIDIA is already working through the other reports as well and we'll see some actual gaming fixes in the next driver or hotfix.

How do you make the nvidia app notification tray icon go away. Can't find anywhere where you stop it from running in the background. Every time I restart windows it is back again.

Only thing I can think that i have not tried is doing it via services. But should not be the case.

It should not have auto uninstalled it after installing the NV App, you will have to just install NVCP from Windows store again.
