Windows 10: AMD and Nvidia Drivers update from Windows 10 Update

Want to share with you here in this forum about the driver's update from Windows 10 Update. Last week I have to change the graphic card from Nvidia to AMD and use the program of Display Driver Uninstaller. That part is no problem to clean the drivers out and shutdown before change the graphic card. Then I installed the AMD driver from the site of AMD.com. No problem with this part as well. Now about the update drivers through Windows Update late last week and I got 8 AMD updates and 1 Nvidia update. I was surprised to see that Windows Update installed the Nvidia driver which I was not expected to have the driver for Nvidia. I know that I have to leave some of the files for Nvidia PhysX through Steam for PC games which I have three game simulators on my desktop. One of them is required to run Nvidia PhysX and that's DoveTail Games Train Simulator 2019. Anyway my question is that why is Windows Update installing Nvidia display driver. The file information is below about Nvidia display driver:

Nvidia - Display - 10/27/2017 12:00:00 AM - 23.21.13.8813

Hope that there will be no more driver update for Nvidia through Windows Update all along. Should I worry about this driver in my desktop because I guess that I can't remove this Nvidia display driver in Windows 10 Professional 64X. Or can remove this in registry or better off to leave this alone.

NVIDIA Adds Windows 8 to GeForce Driver Update Stack

AMD may have been the first to be out with drivers for its Radeon GPUs that are optimized for Windows 8 (WDDM 1.2), but NVIDIA went a step ahead of "special-releases" for its GeForce drivers, and added Windows 8 to its update stack, meaning that Windows 8 will feature in the list of operating systems to pick from, to download drivers. NVIDIA will constantly update these drivers along with mainline releases for Windows 7/Vista and XP. The latest such driver is 296.17. This driver supports GeForce and Quadro GPUs, and according to NVIDIA, is a quick-update over 295.73 WHQL, with the addition of performance optimization for Blacklight: Retribution.

Windows 10 nVidia Driver Question

With the Nov Update, Windows 10 became mature enough to give another try. Build 10586 (version 1511) runs great, feels snappy, and has no obvious problems. However, I'm concerned with this version's insistence on loading nVidia's 353.54 driver, which is dated July 13 2015, 4 months ago. On their US website they list all the new drivers as being compatible with Windows 10, (such as 358.91), but they won't load (installer says incompatible with this version of Windows, could find no compatible hardware...). The 353.54 driver runs games without any problems, but why is it taking so long to for nVidia to update this driver? Is it my 780 Ti that's incompatible or is it Windows 10?

 

Windows 10 Creators Update Available for Download

Not sure about the games you listed but no probs with Dirt Rally and benching heavensward-bench here for me. I'm going to test 3DMark too in a few minutes.
