Windows 10: Windows automatically downloads a corrupted driver that causes PC to black screen, freeze,...

These are the critical error logs in Event Viewer. The driver in question is called "HID-Compliant Headset". Every time it gets generated, it will eventually become corrupted, then cause PC to crash. I have to manually delete it after PC reboots. I do not know what causes it to be corrupted, why it automatically comes back, or what causes it in particular to cause crashes. It's related to my HyperX headset, but they've said it's an issue they can't fix, and they've tried to work with Microsoft for years with no update or patch on their end. And yes, it has been an ongoing bug/issue for 4+ years now, with many users. Uninstalling it doesn't cause anything to stop working. It's a completely useless driver that only causes issues. Any help or workarounds would be appreciated. Thank you









If I could just prevent windows from automatically creating this ONE driver, all my crashing issues would be solved. I can't play certain games because this consistently happens.

nvidia geforce 341.02 driver causes black screen


I am also having the same problem, ie. black screen. I am using an alienware M11x laptop and Geforce nvidia 342.01 driver. (Until now I couldnt find a solution)For the past 1 month, I have been looking for a solution in the internet and havent found one, although there are varieties of solutions have been offered and I have tried all those solutions, but none works on my laptop. Most of them suggest to reboot to safe mode, and after that use DDU to uninstall and clean all Nvidia driver related files in the system, and perform a custom install of the driver (Perform Clean Install). I have done that and once it is finished installing the driver, it reboots and there it goes again, BLACK SCREEN. Now I am using the standard Intel HD driver, very standard one.Appreciate any info to solve this. Thanks.
