jerky stop motion video, dropping frames after upgrading from win7

I am at the screen after clicking troubleshoot, but I dont know what to do. I see no 'startup options' menu that leads to restart.

The instructions are not good.
How can I get into safe mode?

The next steps you need to take to boot into Safe Mode are the same ones we showed in the second method from this guide, which is to follow this path: “Troubleshoot -> Advanced options -> Startup Settings -> Restart.” Then, press the 4 or the F4 key on your keyboard boot into minimal Safe Mode, press 5 or F5 to boot into “Safe Mode with Networking,” or press 6 or F6 to go into “Safe Mode with Command Prompt.”

This worked well, F8 functionality restored.
I booted into safe mode.
I deleted the driver using ddu
I tried to again install nvidia driver, it fails.

So I am using ddu again

How can I get a working nvidia driver to install?


c:
bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy
exit

Windows managed to reset itself as it was at the beginning. It is running an old driver 341.27, which it self installs. I can not install a driver myself.

The video is again jerky looking.

If you watch the spining nvidia logo thing, you will see it halts, is not smooth spinning, so when you watch TV it is chopped up looking.

It is no good to watch jerking TV, I will have to go back to win7, if I can not resolve this.
Without a driver installed, there is no jerking video, so it is the driver. I can not believe the card is defective. I could believe Nvidia has cripple wared the driver for this older card though! Maybe to force you into buying a newer one.

I will have to pull a newer video card out from another PC to test this out. But IMO, should not have to do that. Makes a lot of work for me. I already lost 2 days of stressing dealing with this.
All the TV programs require accelerated video, youtube does not. Without the driver, youtube is smooth, with the driver it is jerky, so you naturally think it is a driver issue..

The jerky video problem just disappeared, all by itself, I mean I did nothing.
Right after 8:00 pm. Suddenly I notice, all the video is smooth. An hour earlier it got so bad the audio was way lagging the video.
So what happened to make it work?
OPPS!

Wife had switched the TV to TV, its own tuner from off of HDMI. So it is not fixed.

are you using/installing fall creator 1709 ver? I did have problem with installing the NVidia driver for my fx1800. had to use windows update to install the driver for it. but I am still having problem getting it to sleep and wake properly

it is version 1709 that is on the PC.

My plan is to try another card. I can even pull the card and use the MB onboard card for testing. If I can not make it work, my plan is to downgrade to win7.

I fixed the problem early this am.
I took the GT610 out of my desktop pc and put it in the jerky broken PC.
windows 10 detected the card and downloaded a new different nvidia driver from fall 2017 versus the borked 2015 driver for the gtx260 video card that it prefers for that gtx260.

The video is perfectly smooth. So the driver that windows uses is defective if you have a gtx260 video card. And you can not install a new driver, at least I cant.
Was a lot of work, the gtx260 is a big card and I had to mod my ubuntu desktop pc's case to fit it in there.


I put the gtx260 in my ubuntu desktop and the video is smooth and perfect, accelerated video is fine, TV is fine, so the card is fine.

I prefer to stay on win10, because it is modern OS and I can easily fix it if I loose the OS with a failure, versus win7.
