Windows 10: Driver for Nvidia GeForce MX250 provided by Windows Driver Update is left far behind the...

Hi Microsoft Team!


By today the latest Nvidia MX250 driver is in version 445.87 but Windows Driver Update provides 431.98 which is far behind. Hope you could investigate this.


I am using built in Intel UHD 620 and discrete Nvidia MX250 optimus graphic cards.


The funny thing that when i downloaded and installled new 445.87 driver via Geforce Experience, even the Geforce Experience didn't recognize that i had installed new driver.


Looking forward to your advice.


Thank you

:)

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.
