Help, I don’t want to do a fresh install! 
I have a EVGA 970SC. and this morning I tried to update my Nvidia Drivers to 368.22.  I went to the Nvidia website and downloaded the driver.  I clicked install and it failed.  I tried it in both Custom (clicking Clean) and Express install.  I read online If it fails to turn off virus (Webroot) and delete all Nvidia folders.  Did that restarted (all icons huge now) turned off virus again and tried to install again…failed.  Downloaded 365.19…failed.  Getting desperate now…went to windows update saw there was a waiting update tried to install that, windows update failed.  Tried in safe mode…failed.
What can I do?  All was good last night…and of course there are no saves in recovery to go back in time.

    Download DDU (http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html) and run it in Safe Mode and then try and reinstall. Sounds like you have a corrupt driver file somewheres.

    Thanks!  I downloaded it and ran it in Safe mode. 
    Restarted and the install failed.

    try to run the driver installer as admin. If that doesn't work reseat the graphics card and make sure all cables are not loose. Maybe try another PCIe slot.
     
    Also make sure when you run DDU you click Clean and restart
     
    If Windows updates are not updating properly and failing, it may be a corrupted OS file. It would be best to reformat and reinstall Windows if all else fails.

    I had to install this version twice before it completed!  Try installing over the failed installation.

    Sounds like an issue with Anti Virus software or not enough space on the drive it is being installed on. If your drive is not full try turning off any anti virus software you have running.

    I don't think its drive space, I have a Samsung 850 PRO 256gb as my boot drive and 3 other hard drives as documents, videos, and music.  I did just check to make sure and I had 180gb free on the C drive.  I am now preparing to do another fresh install of Windows 10, 3rd times the charm.  Downloading programs, backing up firefox, outlook etc.
