Windows 10: Windows update 2004 and conflict with Nvidia graphics

I have contacted microsoft's technician on chat. It seems that microsoft updates cannot be deleted until installed. When 2004 installs I'm sure it will be back to the same problem. 2004 will delete after installation but may reappear as a download, anyway, and then I will have a black screen problem again if it installs. I thought about trying another angle and deleting or maybe updating the conflicting graphics software, which I am not sure I need anyway. Other people are having problems with Nvidia and Windows 2004, if seems, according to the net. Has anyone got experience of running day-to-day stuff without a graphics software on the computer- I do not play games or do desk top publishing. Does 20004 install without problems with any other graphics software, in use? Has someone got a very up-to -date Nvidia software prm. on their computer and it works with 2004.

2004 Update and Nvidia video cards

Hi,

Windows 10, version 2004 and Windows Server, version 2004

Issue with older drivers for Nvidia display adapters (GPU)

Nvidia and Microsoft have found incompatibility issues with certain versions of Nvidia display adapter drivers and Windows 10, version 2004 (the Windows 10 May 2020 Update). Windows 10 devices with affected Nvidia display driver versions might receive
a stop error with a blue screen or other issues during or after installing the update to Windows 10, version 2004. The affected drivers are any version lower than 358.00.

To safeguard your update experience, we have applied a compatibility hold on Windows 10 devices with affected Nvidia display drivers drivers installed from being offered Windows 10, version 2004 or Windows Server, version 2004 until the driver has
been updated.

Affected platforms:

• Client: Windows 10, version 2004
• Server: Windows Server, version 2004

Workaround: To mitigate this issue, you will need to check with your device manufacturer (OEM) to see if an updated driver is available and install it.

Next steps: Microsoft and Nvidia are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.

Note We recommend that you do not attempt to manually update using the Update now button or the Media Creation Tool until this issue has been resolved.

Unable to update NVidia graphics driver.

I'm unable to properly update my graphics Driver. It is a NVidia RTX 2080. Within about 20% of the install the computer reboots. This is not normal. Normally the display will go black then come back and the installation will finish, but not reboot the computer
in the process.

I have tried uninstalling the graphic drivers and it does the same exact thing. Reboots within about 20% of the process.

Currently installed Driver version is 445.87.

I reached out to NVidia and they first suggested updating windows to the May update 2004. I Ran the Windows Update assistant and it will not update on my computer. Tells me it's not ready. Potential software conflicts or whatever, we're working on a version
for you yada yada yada. The computer is running version 1909.

After that I contacted NVidia again, they asked for the specs. Said the card is running fine and the issue is with Microsoft.

The card still works. The display works. I can run games just fine. The problem is the NVidia control panel is gone. I can't get it back because the drivers won't fully install and the Microsoft Store NVidia Control panel app won't work because it's says
incompatible driver issue. So I uninstalled it.

I Tried both the DCH and Standard versions of the NVidia drivers. Obviously, neither of which install properly.

I checked the the NVidia Corporation in both program files and x86 and the nvcpui file is missing. So it's not hidden. It's just gone.

I have also tried updating the graphics driver through the device manager. It does the same thing. It tries to update to the latest version. Reboots. Computer comes back and the graphics card is not recognized by the Geforce Experience or my EVGA Precision
X1. So I go back to Nvidia. Download and install version 445.87. 20% into the process the computer reboots. After reboot the card is recognized by Geforce Experience and EVGA Precision X1.

Please help.

 

2004 Update and Nvidia video cards

Depends what Nvidia graphics you have, if older then you will have to wait. Mine updated to 2004 without issue last week via windows update but as stated the updates are in stages so perhaps it just not your devices turn yet.

I have a Nvidia GT710, not the newest card but still supported by Nvidia in Windows 10. If you don't have the latest driver from Nvidia then go to their website and update it. https://www.nvidia.com/
