if you installed these drivers remove them and update to 364.51 beta or roll back to previous drivers.

    I know my husband was having issues on his system the other day after he installed an update.  I am so glad that I am slow to do so, especially since I do run two monitors now days

    one of the builds would mess up bad if you had the 2nd monitor plugged in when you installed. How this got past them is amazing.

    I have two monitors as well. I'm staying put.

    Man they update often...I just put in 362.00 three days ago when I built this new PC and they're already up to 364.47?  No problems with 362.00 for what it's worth.

    I think many of their updates are adding new games and settings for their Geforce experience games list (I've noticed I stopped getting seperate updates for the GFE so I think they are rolled together with the video drivers)

    That's most of them...

    ...so many of these "game ready" ones I've seen tend to have mention of which game(s) they were updated for.

    I don't do games at all, and the one time when I installed a "game ready" update, I kept getting BSODs with annoying frequency.  When I checked the Windows Event Viewer, I noticed that the point of the crash occurred each time when the driver couldn't find some setting or file for game it was specified for.  I uninstalled it and rolled back to the one I was previously using and since then everything's been stable. I haven't updated drivers since that incident. so I'm still on Driver Version 347.62

    I was on the MS W10 Update 358+ version drivers forget the exact number for a long time but after a nasty driver crash in a game I was playing I went to the 362.00 drivers and so far so good..

    I had a weird incident once way back when I used ATI cards.

    I was playing Path of Neo (and had been for days already) and suddenly I started getting warped and distorted meshes, falling through objects, etc.

    After quite some time of trouble shooting and messing around to no avail (all of which included removing and reinstalling the drivers) I actually updated the drivers and the problem went away.

    Also had the same thing happen with a NIC card back in the day. It stopped working until I updated the drivers which was a PITA since it was my connection to the internet.

    Same type of problem, same solution, can't understand why LOL.
