    Good old Microsoft and Nvidia at their best. Today's companies are a joke in terms of profissionalism and doing things the right way instead of looking at their pockets..

    Still fails to fix the black screen issues on MUX equipped laptops. You can switch to hybrid in the BIOS and get the monitor back, then afterwards, revert the drivers if it happens to you. Ask me how I know... :realmad:
