The previous set of drivers, version 397.31 that was released last week, had a few bugs in them… so NVIDIA has released a hotfix (397.55) to address the issues (without waiting for the next “Game Ready” date). Of course, these drivers also went through a reduced QA process, so they should be avoided unless one of the problems affect you.
And the fixed bugs are:
- Device Manager may report Code 43 on certain GTX 1060 models
- Netflix playback may occasionally stutter
- Added support for Microsoft Surface Book notebooks
- Driver may get removed after PC has been idle for extended periods of time
The last issue manifests in a couple of different forms. The forum page specifically mentions Windows 10, although users with Windows 7 and Windows 8 could also be affected by the bug, just with different symptoms. I experienced it, and for me (on Windows 10) it was just a matter of force-quitting all processes prefixed with “nv” in task manager. My symptoms were that GeForce Experience would attempt to re-download the drivers and StarCraft II would fail to launch. If you’re experiencing similar issues, then you’ll probably want to give this driver a shot.
You can download it from their CustHelp page.

Do not forget to try each and every forced update to have to again disable all that personal metrics and data slurping that the Lords of Redmond Love to do and sell that to whoever will pay for your metrics. And what about that Redmond brand crapware foisting and ad pushing in that terrible 10 OS where you are the product for Redmond’s closed ecosystem of milking delights come 2020-2023 when there will be no M$ OS but that 10 abomination.
M$ will probably remove the 10 from the name an begin that Windows OS As A Service with Windows 10-S mode(Feature restricted to the point of being useless) for folks that do not wish to pay to play! So it will be Windows as a service pay by the month to use with the Folks that do not pay getting the Windows S mode with very limited features for the UWP(Universial Windows Peasants)!

I use a GTX 1050 TI from Gigabyte and had my driver disappear on Win 10 Home which was left at idle. Worked fine before that. I had to reboot and it auto-installed a different version. Gave me D3D 9 subtitle render error on movie playback and game crashed. I didn’t even know the driver was different until I read your article so thanks! So much for thinking the reboot sorted it out.
