Windows 10: Nvidia Driver issue from recent update

Good Afternoon all I have a bit of an odd issue that I am struggling to resolve. I created a fresh install of Windows 10 64bit yesterday; and everything worked absolutely perfect until I installed the update - 20H2. It seems to have changed the Graphics driver Nvidia Geforce GT710 to a Windows standard driver, and as a result; my graphics have glitched to the point everything is very difficult to make out. I have gone onto Nvidia's website to try and download the correct driver, but it wont install saying that the system isn't compatible. I also cannot roll back the driver to the correct one

KB3073930 will not hide Nvidia driver update


I pride myself in researching and figure things out but just can't get this one.
I know I have the most recent NVidia driver from their website. My video is gone.
I also know all about the show/hide "troubleshooter" (should be called fix a bad MS decision shooter)...anyway, it works fine with several items. However the Nvidia driver update does not show on the list of items in the troubleshooter it can hide!
So, it keeps showing up with the updates that I DO WANT to download.

Even stranger, some updates showed in the troubleshooter that were not showing in my windows update dialog.

But anyway, the real issue is that I need to hide that Nvidia driver. Any suggestions?

This is a little crazy. I might be okay with OS updates being pushed more but NOT drivers.

Thanks,
