    Hello all I may be missing something but I did a fresh install of Windows 10 and now my NVIDIA drivers don't auto install or update on my P870DMG3.

    Reason I ask because if you try to install a Standard package with a DCH already installed, it will throw an error.

    No this is all from a new fresh install on a windows 10 .iso .

    My MSI GT80 did the same thing but searching for update works on the MSI ( But I don't care for that laptop )

    388 is too old, try 39x or 430.xx drivers.

    The only way around i found was to MOD the .inf but this is kinda S8!T if i ever sell the unit it should have the drivers auto install and update for the next user strange.jpg

    I've sold a laptop with a non standard GPU that required an INF mod for driver install, I included a USB key with a copy of the modded driver and instructions on how to mod the INF in any future driver package even though it was old enough that Nvidia had stopped support already
