    Display driver breaks after every reboot


    Since the upgrade that Microsoft forced down my throat a couple weeks ago, my display drivers have not worked. One of them is Intel(R) HD Graphics driver, and the other is an NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M driver. We managed to fix one of the drivers (the Intel one) using DriverEasy.

    Anyway, let's get to the main issue. The one driver we managed to fix breaks again whenever I reboot my computer. This is a major problem since I have to reboot every 2-3 days because of the memory leak I talked about in my very first thread. The first time this happened, a cold boot fixed it, but that has not worked when the issue has happened again.

    If you are installing a particular version of a driver (you don't say what 'fix one of the drivers' means... then it's possible that driver is being replaced by the version MS chooses on rebooting. I will make the assumption that is happening.

    You can check that assumption by checking the driver version in Device Manager in the various stages you mention.

    To deal with that you have to:
    - Uninstall the driver you don't want completely (so it doesn't reinstall) (Choose Delete driver...)
    - 'hide' (block) the relevant driver update

    Also:
    Enable or Disable Driver Updates in Windows Update in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials
    ( not the preferred option, but one you could use for test purposes).

    forced down my throat
    If you bought Home, that's the model you signed up to. You will get updates delivered when they are available. You can limit when restarts occur. That was your choice; but like you, I completely disagree with the way MS does this given their record.

    If you bought Pro, you can defer feature updates (upgrades) and you have more control.

    You can still
    a. Hide upgrades (but it's not easy)
    b. Disable updates altogether
    using Home.

    Older Nvidia Cards like yours are no longer supported by Drivers greater than the 396 series (or newer) , they also don't support 32bit Win10 any longer.....version 382.05 was a good one for me, get it here :

    NVIDIA

    Unsupported Fermi Based Cards list:

    for the Intel Card try putting the Card's PID number ( from device manager) into the search box at the M$ Catalog Site , it's how I get mine sometimes... if i need a particular version

    Both drivers were working today, but when it came time to reboot the NVIDIA one broke, and then when I did a cold boot, the Intel one broke too. What do I do now?

    Your haven't filled in your computer specs ...laptop? 32bit windows or 64bit?

    What is the Hardware ID (PID) for the Intel(R) HD Graphics Card ( see Device manager>Detail Tab>3rd option on the dropdown)

    The latest Intel Drivers from Windows Update also broke my laptop and I had to roll them back

    Did you disable driver Updates from Windows Update? so it won't keep happening

    Latest Nvidia Driver Update for you Card is 391.35 , if it is a Notebook(laptop) make sure to get the Notebook Driver in either 32bit or 64bit ,which ever you need ???? see Settings>System>About it is under Device Specs >System type.

    I am using a 64-bit desktop computer, and I had no problems like this until being upgraded from 1703 to 1803. It's also worth noting that when I go into Device Manager and right-click the broken driver and click Properties, it says "Windows has stopped the device because it reported problems. (Code 43)" or something along the lines of that.
