Hello! I recently installed Windows 10 Pro on my new PC, and it is giving me a headache since then.

 

It installs some Microsoft Visual updates, even though I disabled it from automatic updating (per that tip, that is widely spread). Next time I restart PC, my display driver is switched to Microsoft Basic Display Driver, with my GPU (GB Gtx 960 ITX) disabled and running my display at 64Hz (Dell P2415Q which natively has 60Hz@3840x2160). Uninstalling those updates and reinstalling Nvidia drivers may just temporally fix this issue, until next restart that is.

 

Additional info: I cant open Nvidia control panel, and GeForce experience downloads the driver each time i restart my PC, even though that same version was just installed.

 

Does anyone here have some opinion on this situation? Any help is appreciated.

Have you tried disabling integrated graphics in the BIOS? Have you checked to be sure your monitor is plugged into the graphics card?

 

I know it seems basic but i have to ask

Intel Core i7-6700k | 2 X Gigabyte 4GB GTX 970 Overclocked Edition | 16GB (4X4GB) DDR4 2133MHz Corsair Dominator Platinum | MasterCase Pro 5

ASUS Z170 Deluxe Motherboard | 256GB Samsung 840 Pro + Seagate 2TB Storage | Corsair Hydro H80i GT | Windows 10 Pro 64bit | Corsair HX850i

Did you happen to upgrade to windows 10 or clean install?

i had a similar issue when i upgraded.

 

uninstall nvidia everything, then run windows update.   windows should download it by itself, and it SHOULD fix itself
