Hope not another botched driver , Im not yet updating from December (527.37) due to nvlddmkm.sys problem after installing 527.56 driver on my GTX 3060 Ti
whats wrong with the latest update. I Installed the new one on my Work and home Pc GTx 1060 and 3060ti.
The random nvlddmkm.sys issue, its usually starts fine but after sometime it will occur and keep occur while playing game , open web browser or just idle in desktop. Not all get it, its as random as it can be, thankfully in my case its gone after rolling back driver to its previous one
Agree, Im usually not updating except for security fix or due to not following Rule 1 when some latest games glitched or refuse to play with older driver (happened to me with CP 2077 back then and Portal RTX lately)
