    Try to install driver manually.

    Go to "Device Manager"
    Find your GPU and go to it's "Properties".
    Open "Drivers" tab and click on to "Update driver".
    Than click "Browse my computer for driver software"
    Than "Let me pick from a list of device on my computer"
    Click "Have Disk" and pick your inf file.

    It might help you. At-least worth to try =/

    This should do it, let us know how it goes. Is this the only version having issues? Which version were you running before?

    Same version but on windows 7, Windows 10 is a right pain in the backside.

    I upgraded my Alienware m15x from i3-370M Dual Core to i7-720QM Quad Core & installed new Nvidia Geforce GTX 460M @ 1.5GB GDDR5. The issue I've is their is lag in GTA 5 & Battlefield 4 multiplayer. But Loadout multiplayer works really well. I updated to latest Geforce Game Ready Driver. I installed Geforce Experience & optimized games. I also used Nvidia Control Panel to set up the best for performance. I would like the link for the modified drivers for Nvidia GTX 460M.
