    You have to reinstall the drivers from Nvidia.
     
    You may have to
    Disable windows update services in desktop services app
    Also roll back the driver in device mgr and then ran microsoft update hide tool

     I reinstalled the driver from Nvidia after all that.

    That's because Windows probably installed it's own driver when you upgraded Windows 10. For some reason, the Nvidia drivers in their database have issues or lack some features, even though they are supposed to be official drivers. You want to get them straight from Nvidia.
     
    Oh, and Windows likes to install drivers on it's own, even while the computer is in use, like in Ranma's thread (I've had the same issue myself).
     
     
    Good luck with your new Windows 10 installation. It was a pain getting it set up to how I wanted it. Way too many "features", bloatware, and automation. Just stupid stuff you don't want or expect from an OS, some of it stuff that shouldn't be on by default. Like the start menu with all the advertisments, news, and Twitter feeds; or the Xbox game overlay that's on by default for some reason (nothing weirder than running a game from Steam, and Windows just prompts you about how to bring up the Xbox game bar).

    Also make sure you install the windows update show or hide tool.  https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3073930/how-to-temporarily-prevent-a-driver-update-from-reinstalling-in-window  Otherwise widont's will decide to update your driver again, and you will have work units fail and you will be in the same boat.  I went through this and so did several others.  It's a real pain to wake up and find your rig has lost hours of work because of this.

    I've updated the Windows 10 OS on three PCs to the "Creator's edition" and have had only one completed job dump on upload from a PC with an EVGA 1050ti card. I have updated all NVidia drivers to the newest version as they became available; the one "pure" AMD machine, running R7 graphics from the APU and an RX480 GPU, was a hassle. In the AMD case, I had to remove and reinstall the graphics drivers. All three machines are rockin' steady at this point.

    You would think that after a Year of this Microsoft would have fixed this, at least you would think that they Do Care for the Cure.

    Microsoft = Micro Software <> Micro Managed Software would work best now.

    Was updated last night, gipothegip and Ranmacanada, you fixed the problem and insured it won't come back.  I love that hide driver tool.
     
    Good Work Guys
     
    Thanks

    bcavnaugh was the one who pointed it out to me when I was having serious issues with Windows updating itself and wiping out my points even after I told it not to update it.  They deserve the real thanks :)

    Microsoft doesn't support OpenGL in the video driver they provide. It only supports Direct X. That is why you have to install the NVIDIA driver.

    Bummer loosing the work
     
    Would be nice to find a way to prevent any driver / OS updates while Any WU were active ---- or at least automatically make a restore point in your current Folding that would allow you to finish the WU after sorting your PC errors out
