I used the Nvidia app (updated to latest) to update to 572.16 for my 4090, and the screen blanked out and didn't come back. I tried waiting for several minutes, and then tried a driver reset with the control+shift+win+b keys, but no dice. Force reset. Upon restart, it looked like 572.16 had installed just fine.
 
Sadly, the PC hard locked when loading Hogwarts: Legacy. So, DDU'd in safe mode and trying them again from a clean install!
 
Here's the driver link if anyone needs it: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/240547/ 
 
EDIT - yep, clean DDU and 572.16 is working fine now. Installed just fine, and playing Hogwarts without issue.

    Hmm I wonder if the people on the Nvidia forums have tried that.  I went there to look at feedback after seeing the non-updated version of your post and it was getting ripped over there for the exact same thing.  Black screens, crashing in all kinds of games, etc.  Normally takes a few days to get that many posts in a driver feedback thread.
