tried via the following methods:

Settings > Update & Security > download = screen/resolution flashes twice, Error 0x80070002
Device Manager > Display > Update Driver Software.. > Search Online = flashes twice, (Code 28)
downloaded 353.30 from evga.com = screen/resolution flashes 3-4 times, NVIDIA installer failed on Graphics Driver specifically
 

anyone else experience the same? known issues?

    tried the clean install option from the 353.30 install package and was prompted to restart. upon restarting, I see the following:

    "Uninstall cannot continue.

    Found New Hardware Wizard is open. Close the wizard to continue installation or wait until it is finished."

    waited a bit, continued and then it just failed again.

    Get the 353.62 drivers from here since Windows 10 will install them anyway: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
    Be sure to select the correct bit of your installation, 32 or 64. It no longer autodetects my OS as 64-bit. I have to select it manually.

    *UPDATE*

    Solution:

    1.) kill all NVIDIA Background Tasks in Task Manager
    2.) Uninstall all NVIDIA software (residue from your previous Windows build)
    3.) Restart your computer
    4.) Run the NVIDIA installer package.

    If that still doesn't work, I have found somewhat of an odd workaround:
     
    1.) Get to the screen in the NVIDIA package installer where it says NVIDIA Installer failed
    Graphics Driver's Status will say "Failed"
    All other components will say "Not Installed"
     
    2.) Do not close the window. Leave it open
     
    3.) Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update. Allow Windows Update to grab the driver
     
    4.) Do not run the NVIDIA installer package again (it will revert your display adapter to unrecognized).
     
    For some strange reason with this method, Windows Update will only properly install if the window for the NVIDIA package installer is still open. You will not have any of the other NVIDIA components, only the driver.
