When you install the Creator's Update if you have video drivers older than that in the Update then Windows will install their version of the NVIDIA driver which is not supported by OpenGL and as a result folding will not work.
 
Open up System in your control panel;
 
Select Advanced System Settings;
 
Then the Hardware tab;
 
Finally press the Device Installation Settings.
 
From there toggle the option to not have Windows automatically download manufactures apps for your devices.

I had the same issue, had to go ahead and reinstall my drivers too. Actually, I went to 381.65 as I hear that's a good in between for folding and gaming, and not far behind what from what I gather is the best for folding (but it's an older driver, 373.xx or something like that).
 
I suspect what others say about Windows installing a generic / unofficial clone driver must be true, as I also updated to the Creator's Update recently.
