    NVIDIA driver blocking Safe Mode after 1903 update


    A few days ago, I updated both my laptop and desktop machines. The laptop was done with Windows Update Assistant and took about 3 hours. So far, it seems like a faultless update.
    However the desktop PC was done with Windows Update, took over 8 hours and seemed successful until I tried to go into Safe Mode using Shift+Restart. After the second-level restart, all I got was a black screen. If I left that running for about 5 minutes, a normal sign-in screen would appear. The only way I found to enter Safe Mode was through Safe Boot in msconfig.
    I did a lot of research but could find nothing decribing this situation. Then I discovered, by accident, that the NVIDIA driver for my GT710 card had been installed and was apparently working fine. Previously, this driver has refused to install and I was obliged to use the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter, which worked perfectly well for my non-gaming situation..
    I then wondered if, by any chance, the NVIDIA driver was at the root of the Safe Mode access problem so I uninstalled it and, sure enough, was able to get into Safe Mode with Shift+Restart. Of course, the NVIDIA driver reinstalls on reboot but I did try it a few times and confirmed that the NVIDIA driver is indeed blocking access to Safe Mode.
    Both sfc and DSIM say there are no system errors.
    It's a pity but I suppose the only answer is to switch back to the Microsoft driver - unless anyone has an alternative solution.

    :)

    NVIDIA Driver Install Fails

    I managed to install the driver only, which is OK for me.

    Running the setup.exe in Safe-Mode didn't work.

    So, I followed these steps:

    1. Restart into safe mode
    2. Open device manager
    3. Find your GPU and right-click it, then select "Update Driver Software"
    4. Click "Browse my computer for driver software"
    5. Tick "Include Sub-Folders"
    6. Navigate to the directory where the NVIDIA download extracted the setup files to, and click OK.
    7. If it was successful, restart normally, and enjoy using a proper graphics driver.

    Cannot update driver in Safe Mode

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Community.

    We understand your concern and we will provide the assistance required to resolve the issue.

    Before we proceed, I would like you to provide the information stated below:

    Did you try to update your driver in Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking?

    If you tried to update your driver in Safe Mode, the driver will not updated through Windows Updates or Intel device updater as you will not be connected to the internet in this mode.

    I would suggest that you follow the method below and check if you are able to successfully update your graphic driver.

    Uninstalling and Downloading driver.

    • Right click on theStart Menu and select
      Device Manager.
    • Open Device Manager, double click to expand Display Adapter.
    • Right-click the device, and click Uninstall.
    • Windows will prompt you to confirm the device’s removal. Click
      OK
      to remove the driver.
    • After the uninstallation is complete, reboot your computer.
    • After you have successfully uninstalled the driver, visit the computer manufacturer’s website, download the Windows 10 driver for your computer and check.

    Note: You can perform this method from your normal desktop mode.

    Hope this information helps.
