The Easy Way, that is to Upgrade your Current Windows 10 Computer to 1809.
I found a great way to upgrade your Current Windows 10. The next best OS Install next to a Fresh OS Install.
Set the local policy to do not allow Windows Update to install Drivers. Another Post somewhere here on the Forum before you start.
Uninstall all of NVIDIA's Drivers and Software and then do not restart but run DDU and have it start your Computer in Safe Mode and Cleanup.
After this use the USB Flash Drive you created from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 and right click on the Setup file and select Run as administrator.
 
Then after the Upgrade is Installed and Updated through Windows Updates then install the NVIDIA Driver you want to run.
I did this from 1709 to 1809 and from 1803 to 1809 and not a single issue found and all my Games Run without issues.
Tested under GTX 1080 Ti Cards and RTX 2080 Ti Cards and not a Single Graphics Card Issue, None.
Also Folding and Crunching ran without issues as well.

    Good post.
     
    I always used the USB Media Creation Tool (Win10 Home Edition).
     
    Then turn my internet connection on to 'Metered connection' so Win10 don't auto-download any updates it wants to without my permission.
     
    Then I run the wushowhide (Show or Hide Windows Updates) tool to see what Win10 wants to download and install and then choose to hide updates I don't want/need before running the normal Windows Update..I have wushowhide to run every day through Task Scheduler.
     
    MicroShaft snuck one in on me thought that wushowhide would not detect..Forget what is was, think it was the last 'feature update' in December, according to my update history.

    Thank you.
    After the last 22 Hours to re-download GOW4 I said enough.
