Windows 10: Nvidia driver update will fail, but update work in safe mode.

So, in short, I've been having this issue for a while now where Nvidia driver's update will fail, but work in safe mode, which makes me think there's something in Windows, either being an app, program, that conflicts with the update but sadly Nvidia's support haven't been any help. Event viewer gives me; "The program drvinst.exe version 10.0.22621.3672 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Security and Maintenance control panel"Security and Maintenance's realibility history; DescriptionA

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.
   

 

nVidia Quadro 5000 works only in Safe Mode

Hi gents,
I run workstation, (m/b Tyan tempest i5400XT, CPU E5420 @2.5MHz-2 processors, RAM 20 GB, Win7, 64 bit) and my NVidia Quadro 5000 worked well in the first year. After the crash the computer system, it is happened some damage of the video card. The computer can work only in Safe Mode with this video card and the screen resolution can be 1600x1200. After restart the comp (from the Safe Mode) at booting system the screen is freezing in sequence "Starting Windows".
In the Safe Mode the Device Manager recognizes the NVidia Quadro 5000. I have updated NVidia driver to the latest one, but no help, remove the card to another PCI-e slot, no help.
With other video card, NVidia FX1700, computer works very well.
Any suggestion for help? What about reload video card BIOS? Can anyone had similar experience?
Thanks.

 

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.
