    AMD and Nvidia Drivers update from Windows 10 Update


    Want to share with you here in this forum about the driver's update from Windows 10 Update. Last week I have to change the graphic card from Nvidia to AMD and use the program of Display Driver Uninstaller. That part is no problem to clean the drivers out and shutdown before change the graphic card. Then I installed the AMD driver from the site of AMD.com. No problem with this part as well. Now about the update drivers through Windows Update late last week and I got 8 AMD updates and 1 Nvidia update. I was surprised to see that Windows Update installed the Nvidia driver which I was not expected to have the driver for Nvidia. I know that I have to leave some of the files for Nvidia PhysX through Steam for PC games which I have three game simulators on my desktop. One of them is required to run Nvidia PhysX and that's DoveTail Games Train Simulator 2019. Anyway my question is that why is Windows Update installing Nvidia display driver. The file information is below about Nvidia display driver:

    Nvidia - Display - 10/27/2017 12:00:00 AM - 23.21.13.8813

    Hope that there will be no more driver update for Nvidia through Windows Update all along. Should I worry about this driver in my desktop because I guess that I can't remove this Nvidia display driver in Windows 10 Professional 64X. Or can remove this in registry or better off to leave this alone.

    Other than take up space it's not really going to affect anything. You can also find and remove it with pnputil

    From an elevated command prompt
    Run pnputil /enum-drivers
    Locate the driver and make note of the oem## file name then
    Run pnputil /delete-driver oem##.inf /force​

    Thank you for the information to run pnputil on my desktop. And did not show any with Nvidia driver. So I just leave this alone in my desktop.
